Afro-Jamaican artiste Faith Barbee Eselebor, popularly known as Barbee, made a striking appearance at the 2026 edition of the Telecel Ghana Music Awards 2026, using the occasion to unveil her fashion brand, African Barbee.
Barbee, who gained attention with her single Start Over last year, appeared on the red carpet in a custom-made two-piece outfit from her African Barbee collection, an extension of the BRATTIES lifestyle brand.
The ensemble featured a structured corset and matching skirt designed with bold African prints and embellished with crystals to complement the glamour of the awards night.
Speaking about the inspiration behind the design, Barbee said her love for African prints dates back to her childhood.
“Growing up, I always loved African prints and looked forward to the beautiful outfits my father would bring back to the States for me,” she said.
“Being able to create my own designs influenced by my African heritage and childhood memories is incredibly meaningful to me,” she added.
According to the artiste, the African Barbee brand reflects her heritage and artistic identity, combining African culture with contemporary fashion.
Barbee is currently in Ghana filming the music video for her single Start Over and says she hopes to capture the country’s creative energy through the visuals.
“I’m grateful to be reconnecting with my roots and building something meaningful through music, fashion and culture,” she said.
Born Faith Barbee Eselebor, the Afro-Jamaican singer is known for blending Reggae, Pop, Dancehall and R&B in her music.
She has collaborated with artistes including Beenie Man, Trina and Junior Kelly.
