New Delhi: Popular rapper Badshah, who was recently in news for his drastic physical transformation, is set to attend the Alexander Wang showcase during New York Fashion Week.

Known for hit numbers like ‘DJ Waley Babu’ and ‘Genda Phool’, Badshah is the first Indian rapper to be a part of the global event.

“Badshah, a true cultural phenomenon, is personally flying to New York amidst a packed tour, driven by his deep admiration for Alexander Wang’s artistic genius. This collaboration is going to be a statement about breaking boundaries and the power of global connection – something both these artists truly champion,” Zoom quoted a source as saying.

Badshah is also the first Indian rapper to have appeared at Paris Men’s Fashion Week in June, at the Amiri Spring-Summer 2026 show.

American designer Alexander Wang is celebrated for blending streetwear with high fashion.

His shows, known for their energy and music that matches the city’s pulse, have attracted celebrity guests like Rihanna, Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Lawrence, Kylie Jenner, Beyonce and Dua Lipa over the years.
