Not long ago, rapper Shaboozey caused controversy when he posted an article implying that Taylor Swift was blocking his path to conquering No.1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Male rapper ‘turned around’ after angering Taylor Swift fans

Specifically, Shaboozey announced that he wanted to “kick” the female singer out of the Billboard Hot 100 chart, so that his song “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” could rise to the top position next week. This defiant attitude angered the Taylor Swift fan community.

After that, Shaboozey immediately moved to explain. The male rapper shared on his personal page a screenshot showing that he was listening to the album “Red (Taylor’s Version)” on the Spotify platform. The post included a justification: ” Everyone thinks wrong, I like Taylor’s music”.

Is this action to appease Taylor Swift fans after her thoughtless statement?

Currently, Taylor Swift and the single “Fortnight” featuring Post Malone are holding No.1 Hot 100. In addition, the remaining positions in the Top 10 also belong to the female singer. Meanwhile, Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” is at No.27. However, this song is currently at No.1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart.
