Shaboozey couldn't keep a straight face when Megan Moroney made an egregious claim about who created country music, and thankfully, it was caught in 4K.
The 'A Bar Song (Tipsy)' singer went viral for not being able to keep a poker face, and understandably so after fellow country artist Megan Moroney had the audacity and caucasity to credit The Carter Family as the inventors of country music.
It was one of the head-scratching moments during the 2025 American Music Awards that garnered plenty of reactions on social media.
While presenting the award for the Favorite Country Duo or Group category, Shaboozey began the segment by reading the teleprompter, telling the audience and viewers, 'Country music has been an important part of AMA history. The very first year of this show, the award for Favorite Male Country Artist went to the great Charlie Pride.'
Moroney got the ultimate side eye from Shaboozey when she followed him by saying, 'That same year, Favorite Female Artist went to Lynn Anderson, and this award [Favorite Country Duo or Group] went to the Carter family, who basically invented country music.'
The reactions to the moment were instant, with many users on X, formerly Twitter, basically praising the artist for keeping it real following Moroney's comments.
Shaboozey did respond on his personal X account after the moment went viral, writing in a post that tries to help him save face, writing, 'The real history of country music is about people coming together despite their differences, and embracing and celebrating the things that make us alike.'
It's all good Shaboozey, no need to explain, we all made the same face listening to Moroney make that comment.

Set in 1930s Mississippi, Sinners intertwines elements of horror, history, and spirituality to explore themes of survival, faith, and cultural heritage. One of the most impactful scenes that has inspired fans spiritual journeys is the moment when Annie asks if Smoke still had his 'mojo bag.'

Mojo bags, also known as gris-gris or conjure bags, are small pouches filled with a combination of herbs, roots, minerals, and personal items, believed to hold spiritual power.

They served various purposes, from protection and healing to attracting love or prosperity. In Sinners , the character Smoke, portrayed by Michael B. Jordan, carries a mojo bag given to him by his lover Annie, a Hoodoo practitioner, symbolizing his connection to ancestral wisdom and spiritual protection . The film's portrayal of mojo bags has resonated with audiences, sparking discussions on social media about their historical and cultural significance. One Instagram post describes the film itself as a 'modern-day mojo bag,' suggesting that Sinners serves as a vessel for spiritual enlightenment and cultural preservation. This metaphor highlights the film's role in educating viewers about the depth and resilience of African American spiritual practices. Coogler's meticulous attention to detail and commitment to authenticity are evident throughout the film. He collaborated with scholars like Yvonne Chireau, an expert in African American religious history, to ensure accurate representation of Hoodoo traditions. The film's narrative, combined with its evocative visuals and haunting soundtrack, immerses viewers in a world where the spiritual and physical realms intertwine. Sinners not only entertains but also educates, offering an exploration of a rich cultural heritage often overlooked in mainstream media. By highlighting the significance of mojo bags and Hoodoo practices, the film invites audiences to reflect on the enduring power of ancestral traditions and the importance of preserving them for future generations.
