Shaboozey's 'A Bar Song' Tops Billboard Chart

Shaboozey, whose real name is Collins Obinna Chibueze, has filed a lawsuit against Warner Chappell and his former label Kreshendo Entertainment, claiming they are preventing his departure from a publishing deal despite his termination of the label in 2019. Kreshendo has countersued, asserting he engaged in fraud to deprive them of contractual rights after releasing his hit 'A Bar Song (Tipsy),' which has now spent seven weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, marking the longest reign of 2024. The song's success has also contributed to its 11th week at the top of the Hot Country Songs chart. Additionally, Shaboozey's third studio album, 'Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going,' debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard 200, showcasing his rising influence in the music industry. His upcoming tour is set to begin on September 9 in Minneapolis, further capitalizing on his newfound fame. The legal disputes highlight ongoing tensions in the music industry regarding artist contracts and rights.
