Cody Johnson's producer Trent Willmon addressed his CMA Awards comment about Shaboozey over the weekend. "Shout out to Shaboozey for your response to my fumble and having a great sense of humour," he wrote. "Congrats on that 17-Week #1 song!" The fumble he's referring to happened when Trent and Cody Johnson were onstage accepting the CMA for Album of the Year for Leather, which Trent produced. During his speech, he said, "This is for the cowboy that's been kicking Shaboozey for a lot of years." After the show, Shaboozey laughed it off in a social media post showing a picture of himself shrugging his shoulders and writing, "Ain't nobody kicking me!" Trent admitted that he chose the wrong words to express his feelings while he was onstage. "What I meant to express in my overly-shocked and excited state was that I am very proud of Cody Johnson. He has worked his BOOTY off the last 15 years putting out and performing great music and it's not an overnight success," Trent wrote. "I was so proud he's finally getting recognized!"
