Bahrain To The World: Flipperachi Hits #1 In India And Sweeps Billboard Charts
If you haven’t heard the name Flipperachi echoing through your speakers lately, where have you been?
The Bahraini rap legend is officially having a GLOBAL Super-Hit moment, with his track “FA9LA” transcending the 2Seas and landing straight in the heart of Bollywood, breaking records and topping charts across the world’s biggest music markets.
From the big screen in Mumbai to the top of the Billboard charts, here is how Bahrain’s hometown hero is taking over!
It all started when “FA9LA” was featured in the new Indian blockbuster movie, Dhurandhar. The scene featuring Bollywood icon Akshaye Khanna (playing the character Rehman Dakait) dancing to the track has become an instant viral sensation.
Social media is currently flooded with millions of users recreating the “Rehman Dakait walk,” turning Flipperachi’s sound into a global TikTok and Instagram anthem.

The numbers are staggering!
As of this week, Flipperachi has achieved what few independent Arab artists ever have across Spotify and Billboard charts:
-
- #1 on Spotify Viral 50 India
- Top 100 Artists
- Hot 100 Songs
- Top 50 Khaleeji
- Top 50 Arabic Hip Hop
There’s a bittersweet twist to it all…
Despite being the voice heard in every cinema across India, the movie Dhurandhar has been refused certification and is currently banned in Bahrain and several other Gulf countries.
While the ban is linked to concerns over the film’s narrative, it hasn’t stopped the music from spreading. Flipperachi himself admitted in recent interviews that while he hasn’t been able to watch the film in a local theater yet, the support from fans globally has been overwhelming.

From Arjun Rampal playing the track during DJ sets to superstars like Shilpa Shetty and Ranveer Singh vibing to the beat, the track is now officially a global brand!
This isn’t just a win for Flipperachi or his team at Outlaw Productions; it’s a win for the entire Bahraini music scene. It proves that with the right beat and the right flow, an artist from this little island can truly take over the world!
