Kevin Winter/Getty Earlier in the evening, Shaboozey walked the BET Awards carpet and talked about what it meant to perform at the awards show amid his massive breakout year. “Man, it’s a dream come true, honestly man,” he said. “A couple years [ago], I was sitting about a hundred rows back watching people perform, so to be able to give my story on that stage is a dream come true — surreal.” Speaking more on the recent renaissance of Black country artists gaining popularity, the “Vegas” artist described the defining moment as “amazing.” “Country music is America’s music,” he added. “It’s music about different stories from different people in different walks of life. We can’t be missing those Black stories as well. You’ve got to hear those as well.” Shaboozey performs on stage during the BET Awards at the Peacock theatre in Los Angeles on June 30, 202.
