Israeli rappers call for the deaths of Dua Lipa, Bella Hadid and Mia Khalifa in controversial war song that tells celebrities they deserve 'what's coming'
Two Israeli rappers have called for the murder of three Muslim celebrities – singer Dua Lipa, model Bella Hadid – as well as ex-porn star Mia Khalifa in a controversial rap song that has become their country's unofficial war song.
Rappers Ness and Stilla released their drill song Harbu Darbu three months ago and it has since racked up 18 million views on YouTube.
In the song, the musicians threaten the three celebrities, who have all expressed anti-war sentiments and claim that the IDF will “rain a storm on them.”
Ness and Stilla dance their way through the music video, making sigils against the desert backdrop.
The song is in Hebrew, but when translated into English, it's clear from the start that it's going to be aggressive. The title, Harbu Darbu, means chaos.

In the song, Ness (left) and Stilla (right) threaten the three celebrities, all of whom have expressed anti-war sentiments and claim that the IDF will “rain a storm on them.”
The first two lines are: 'A bunch of damn rats coming out of the tunnel.
“Act like criminals, idiots, I swear there will be no forgiveness.”
Over a drill beat backing track, it goes on to talk about how the IDF is “in the mood for Harbu Darbu on your head.”
Ness and Stilla go on to mock Hamas, claiming that when they sing “Palestine Free” it sounds like a “holiday sale.”
The last verse starts by saying 'we'll rain a storm on you, you f****** and repeats the line, “Every dog gets what he deserves in the end”.'
The rappers then list all the people on their list – or, as they claim, the IDF's list.
In the song this starts with the leaders of Hamas and Hezbollah, but then they turn their attention to the three celebrities.
'Every dog ultimately gets what he deserves.
'Bella Hadid, Dua Lipa, Mia Khalifa.
'Every dog ultimately gets what he deserves.
“All IDF units come to perform Harbu Darbu on their heads.”
The reason Dua Lipa is on the rappers' 'death list' is because of her calls for a ceasefire in the ongoing war in Gaza between the IDF and Hamas on social media.

Bella Hadid, who is Palestinian on her father's side, also tweeted her way onto the rappers list
In a post that has now been deleted, the Albanian-British singer wrote: “Every day that passes my heart aches for the people of Israel and Palestine.
'Sorrow for the lives lost in the horrific attacks in Israel.
'Sadness as I witness the unprecedented suffering in Gaza, where 2.2 million souls, half of them children, endure unimaginable hardship.
“For now, I desperately hope for a ceasefire in Gaza and urge governments to halt the unfolding crisis.
“Our hope lies in finding the empathy to acknowledge this terrible humanitarian situation.
“Sending love to the Palestinian and Jewish communities around the world who bear this burden heavier than most.”
Bella Hadid, who is Palestinian on her father's side, also tweeted her way onto the rappers list.
One of her tweets read: “While I have hopes and dreams for the Palestinians, none of them include the harm a Jewish person can suffer.
Mia Khalifa, a Lebanese, has caused more controversy with her views on the conflict. In fact, she even praised the Hamas terrorist immediately after the October 7 massacre in Israel
“Terrorizing innocent people is inconsistent with and does not benefit the Free Palestine movement. The idea that it does has fueled a painful, decades-long cycle of back-and-forth reprisals.
“No innocent citizen, Palestinian or Israeli, deserves to be victimized.”
Mia Khalifa, a Lebanese, has caused more controversy than the others with her views on the conflict. In fact, she even praised the Hamas terrorist immediately after the October 7 massacre in Israel.
Her tweet referred to the recording of the attack and read: “Can someone please tell the freedom fighters in Palestine to turn their phones around and film horizontally.”
She later apologized for her comments.
In response to the song in December, Khalifa wrote on to genocide in their own culture, they had to colonize something to get it to #1.'
But Harbu Darbu was welcomed with open arms by IDF forces with videos on YouTube and TikTok of soldiers driving tanks to the rhythm of the battle.

Israeli music promoter Hillel Wachs spoke to Israeli newspaper The Jerusulam Post and said: “There is a long tradition of some iconic song that comes out of a war, which becomes the song identified with that war.”
He further told the newspaper that Harbu Darbu could be that song.
Ness and Stilla say it's time to replace sadness with anger.
Nearly 30,000 Palestinians have been killed in the conflict, according to Gaza's health ministry.
