Meet Flipperachi: The Bahraini rapper blowing up in India

Entertainment Dec 12, 2025

Flipperachi, a rapper from Bahrain, is suddenly everywhere on Indian social media.
His 2024 track FA9LA got featured in the movie Dhurandhar during Akshaye Khanna's big entrance—and those clips went viral fast.

How Flipperachi's sound stands out

Starting out in 2008 with DJ Outlaw, Flipperachi mixes Gulf vibes with rap, trap, and club beats.
He's already known for regional hits like Ee Laa and Shoofha and has built his name performing at festivals and collaborating across the Middle East.

FA9LA's viral moment and what it means

Thanks to its spot in Dhurandhar, FA9LA is now reaching far beyond Gulf fans.
It's a great example of how movies and social media can launch an artist into new countries almost overnight—FA9LA had millions of streams before India even caught on.
