SHABOOZEY SHAKES UP THE FONDA

Fresh off playing the first of two sold-out shows at L.A.’s Fonda Theatre, EMPIRE’s Shaboozey and team were lured into this photo op with the promise of Hollywood’s notorious street dogs when they were bamboozled by the sight of HITS’ Jesse MacMillan and Nicole Ghapgharan. Shaboozey (CAA), who wraps his sold-out, headlining-debut Where I’ve Been Isn’t Where I’m Going Tour tonight (10/15), has generated quite the Grammy buzz with his sextuple-platinum “Bar Song (Tipsy),” which he performed twice during the encore. Seen wondering who put us on the guest list are (l-r) American Dogwood’s Abas Pauti, MacMillan, Shaboozey, Ghapgharan and Range Music’s Jared Cotter.
