Shaboozey and Jelly Roll joined Rob + Holly recently to talk about their collaboration on the song "Amen," their respective health journeys, career milestones, and more. Listen as the two link up for laughs and a candid conversation about the power of faith.
Shaboozey explains that the decision to record "Amen" was ultimately tied to his mother's strong faith and daily prayers. "I grew up with my mother always praying,” he shares. “She prays every single day, honestly, more than she does anything. That's like her hobby, you know what I mean? Everything. it's just, she's just always giving glory and thanks to God and praying over her family and praying over everyone, and she's just really, really just a strong woman of faith. So when I heard the record I was like this is awesome, my mom's gonna love this record. I think that's what I used to decide if I should cut the record, ‘Is my mom gonna love it,’ if she loves it then I know it's a hit song."
More than just a hit, “Amen” won a GRAMMY award earlier this year. The night before the ceremony, Shaboozey told Jelly Roll's wife, Bunny, that he had already written his acceptance speech, while Jelly Roll thought they had no chance of winning. Ultimately his faith prevailed, leading to many more “Amen Moments” along the way.
