J-Kwon’s Grammy Nods Withdrawn For Shaboozey’s ‘A Bar Song (Tipsy)’

Late last week, the Recording Academy officially withdrew the 2025 Grammy nominations for J-Kwon (Jerrell C. Jones), Joe Kent, and Mark Williams, the writers of J-Kwon’s 2004 hit “Tipsy,” which Shaboozey interpolated in his chart-topping megahit, “A Bar Song (Tipsy).” The crossover smash received Grammy nominations for both Song of the Year and Best Country Song. If “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” wins either or both awards during the 67th annual Grammy Awards on February 2, the Academy has determined that the writers of the original “Tipsy” will only receive certificates, not Grammy trophies. Grammy rules state that “songs that contain samples or interpolations are eligible” for Song of the Year. But the rules also make a clear distinction between songwriters of the new song (who are eligible for Grammys) and “publisher & songwriter(s) of sampled or interpolated material, if applicable,” who are eligible only for certificates.
