Shreveport native Willie Jones is featured on Beyoncé’s new country album, Cowboy Carter. Cowboy Carter is the second of her three-album trilogy that started with Renaissance.
Jones is featured on the song “JUST FOR FUN.” It was originally believed he was to be featured on the track “YA YA” after Jones shared one of Beyoncé’s posts featuring the album’s song list to his Instagram story. The story’s caption read, “My puppy YAYA bout to have a new theme song!” After the album’s release, Jones has been confirmed to only be featured on the one song.
