FATPAPI & PRODSHUSHY
FREAKED OUT
One of the greatest viral sucess stories of 2026 comes from Kurdish-New Zealand rapper Fat Papi and Perth producer Prodshushy.
The success can be traced to a viral video TikTok user Jocelyn Meiere, or “Miss Diva Bob”, posted a video that used ‘Freaked Out’ to show off her “bob” haircut.
In it, she shakes her hair to lyrics that say “Get that bag”, and now ith 7 million views, Meiere’s video has gone viral, inspiring others to mimic her success and show off their own haircuts with ‘Freaked Out’ as the soundtrack.
Subsequently the track has now amassed some significant streaming numbers, and is charting in a number of global charts worldwide.

Launched in 2006 and possibly the longest running Australian networked radio show, Urban Chart Hits celebrated its 1000th edition in early 2025 and is still going strong.
Urban Chart Hits was initially presented by "Wolfie" and was heard on some independent commercial stations in Queensland and NSW before getting picked up what is now SCA. It was aired on all 65 Sea, Star and Hot FM hit music stations nationally on a Sunday night from 10pm. Later the Grant Broadcasters picked it up and then in 2019, the brand, show and website were purchased by Costello Investment Holdings and continued in its current format until now.
Urban Chart Hits is currently presented by Brett Costello, and heard on great stations such as the Flow FM network (23 stations across SA, Vic, NSW, NT), Oz Urban Radio 87.8fm Perth, Darwin FM, Rhythm FM Cairns 88.0FM, Tune1.com.au, 89.7fm in Perth's Northern Suburbs, 94.1fm Cherbourg Radio (QLD), TEABBA; broadcasting into 29 remote communities across the Top End (NT), as well as a number of narrowcast, indigenous and community stations across Australia, The USA, New Zealand and Singapore (and even Germany!).
