The 2024 breakout star reaped five Grammy nominations across multiple genre fields. Read the Billboard interview.

On Friday morning (Nov. 8), the Recording Academy unveiled their nominations for the 2025 Grammys — and Shaboozey, one of 2024’s biggest breakout stars, snagged five nods to add to his record-breaking year. The Virginia-bred star also earned a nod for best new artist, while “Spaghettii,” his genre-fusing collaboration with Beyoncé and Linda Martell, reaped a bid for best melodic rap performance. With a boatload of Grammy nominations to cap off a life-changing year, Shaboozey — who’s currently in Lexington, Ky., assisting Jelly Roll on his Beautifully Broken tour — took a few minutes to speak with Billboard about his latest honors, how he’s celebrating and how this all impacts his approach to making music going forward.
