Badman Bairy (born Barnabas Nwaeze) is a Nigerian Afrobeat artist whose journey into music began with rhythm, resilience, and raw talent. Growing up in Lagos, he discovered his voice in church choirs and his flair for performance through dance, which later earned him recognition with his family’s appearance on the Maltina Dance All competition. That blend of music and movement shaped his unique artistry, an Afrobeat sound infused with groove, grit, and the electrifying energy of performance. Signed under IP Records (Igboro Prophecy Ltd.), Bairy brings to the scene a style he describes as the “good bad boy” vibe, soft yet heavy, playful yet intentional, always leaving fans with something to dance to and feel deeply connected with.

With his debut single Casamigos already setting the tone for what’s to come, Badman Bairy is focused on crafting music that mirrors life’s stories, celebration, struggle, and triumph, while also pushing the boundaries of performance with his trademark dance skills. His goal is not just to be another name in Afrobeat, but to build a legacy as an artist who entertains, inspires, and opens doors for the next generation. For promoters, Bairy is more than just an act; he’s a performer whose stage presence and authentic storytelling guarantee a lasting impression.
