"Shaboozey sang his record-setting #1 hit "Bar Song (Tipsy)" not once, but twice as he closed out Saturday's free concert in SF's Civic Center. The show was attended by well over 20,000 people, and also featured appearances by local rappers Berner and Larry June, and rising Nigerian afrobeats artist Fireboy DML. Mayor Daniel Lurie was also on hand to congratulate record label Empire on 15 years, and to tout how the Civic Center event was emblematic of the city's comeback."
"As Shaboozey's set was winding down, Empire founder Ghazi Shami presented the singer with a certified diamond record plaque, marking ten million units sold for "A Bar Song (Tipsy)". The song spent 19 non-consecutive weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100, tying a record set five years ago by Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road," and it has over 1.4 billion streams on Spotify."
