Ardalan Afshar (Persian: اردلان افشار; born 20 September 1984 in Tehran), better known by his stage name Nazar, is an Iranian and Austrian rapper and singer.

His father had died as a soldier in the Iran-Iraq War, whereupon his mother fled to Austria with him and his brother.

Nazar spent his youth in Vienna's district of Favoriten, where at this time he often clashed with neo-Nazis.

In 2007, Nazar published several songs on the Internet, which spread quickly even outside the country.

Nazar's lawyer said his client had in the commotion "just" pulled a gun and threatened to beat the opponent.
