Badshah to become first Indian rapper at New York Fashion Week after Paris Debut

Badshah at New York Fashion Week

When you believe Badshah has fulfilled all of your expectations—chart-topping songs, sold-out venues, and a global fan base—he surprises you once more.

This time, it's a daring step into the world of fashion rather than a beat drop. The excitement is building as he prepares to attend New York Fashion Week as the first Indian rapper.

His Paris Fashion Week debut earlier this year wasn’t just a moment, it was a message. Wearing a custom Amiri ensemble that mixed delicate beadwork, a sleek silhouette, and a diamond-studded ‘Om’ pendant, Badshah didn’t just show up — he made it count. Fashion insiders took notice. Fans couldn’t stop sharing. And everyone agreed: this wasn’t a one-off. It was just the beginning.

Now, as the rapper gears up to bring that same flair to NYFW, expectations are sky-high. According to someone close to the artist:

“After his immensely successful and well-received run in Paris, Badshah is genuinely looking forward to bringing his truly unique perspective to the global fashion runways…”
And that perspective? It’s vibrant. It’s bold. It’s unapologetically him.

Fashion, of course, is only one part of his packed schedule. Badshah is also in the middle of his Unfinished USA Tour, performing across cities like Dallas, Seattle, Chicago, and New York. He’s also carving out time for studio sessions in LA and NYC — because, yes, new music is on the way too.

But perhaps what makes Badshah’s journey so compelling is that it’s never just about what’s expected. From launching Badboy Pizza to redefining what it means to be a modern Indian artist on the world stage, he’s constantly creating — and doing it on his own terms.

He’s not just attending fashion week — he’s reshaping the narrative of who belongs there. And frankly? We’re all rooting for him.
