Who Is Flipperachi and Why 'FA9LA' Took Over?

The upbeat song soon came to be associated with the swagger-heavy scenes in the movie, especially after Akshaye Khanna was seen dancing to it in behind-the-scenes films during promotions. What followed was nothing short of viral chaos. Flipperachi is one of the only rappers from the Middle East to reach the top of the Billboard Arabia charts with 'FA9LA.' The song became a mainstay at clubs and festivals around the Middle East and South Asia, garnering millions of plays across platforms and flooding YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels.
Fans hailed it as one of the year's most surprising worldwide hits, praising its catchy tune, gritty lyrics, and cross-cultural appeal.
Guinness World Record Moment: A Historic Milestone
Flipperachi's meteoric rise reached a historic peak when he was officially recognized by Guinness World Records for his track 'FA9LA,' which dominated four different Arabic Billboard charts simultaneously—an unprecedented achievement for an Arabic rap song. Flipperachi shared the achievement with fans on social media after receiving the award in a joyful occasion that was caught on camera with the Guinness World Records Arabia staff.
In statements following the honour, Flipperachi expressed his astonishment and gratitude, saying, "I was shocked the first time I saw it blowing up on social media. We suddenly got a deal from over there, and they said they wanted the song FA9LA because it would fit this scene in the movie. They placed it in a scene with an actor who has been off-screen for maybe ten years. Boom, he danced to it and boom."

The record highlights how a track originally released in May 2024 found new life after its inclusion in the Netflix and theatrical release of 'Dhurandhar,' turning into a cultural and commercial juggernaut and making Flipperachi a globally recognized name in music well beyond the Middle East.
What's Next: India Tour, and Global Plans

From Bahrain to Billboard to Guinness World Records, Flipperachi's rise is no longer just viral hype; it's a global movement.
