Indian rap superstar Badshah is set to redefine global cultural boundaries, marking a historic debut as the first Punjabi rapper invited as a celebrity guest at Paris Men's Fashion Week from June 24 to 29, 2025. Known for his chart-topping fusion of Hindi, Punjabi, and English rhythms, Badshah extends his influence beyond music into the elite world of haute couture .

This invitation highlights Paris Fashion Week’s growing embrace of South Asian talent, joining the footsteps of Diljit Dosanjh’s Met Gala presence and AP Dhillon’s earlier appearance at the Louis Vuitton show in January. With over 10 billion streams and massive social media reach, Badshah is a powerful cultural ambassador, blending bold, avant-garde style with deep-rooted Indian panache.

Beyond showcasing international designers, Paris Men’s Fashion Week will feature 70 brands with 40 runway shows—offering Badshah a stage to influence global fashion narratives. His attendance—especially notable at high-profile showcases—underscores his dynamic persona as a musician, style icon, and entrepreneur.
