Shaboozey and Jelly Roll won a 2026 Grammy for “Amen,” with Shaboozey honoring his immigrant mother and emphasizing unity.

Shaboozey won his first Grammy at the 2026 awards for Best Country Duo/Group Performance with Jelly Roll for “Amen,” delivering a heartfelt speech honoring his Nigerian immigrant mother and stating “Immigrants built this country.” He revealed he had written an acceptance speech for the first time, motivated by the historic significance of the win and their collaboration as artists of different races. Jelly Roll, who wasn’t present at the pre-show ceremony, learned of the win offstage and later won two additional Grammys. Shaboozey’s message emphasized unity, referencing “Ebony, ivory,” while avoiding direct mentions of immigration policy.
