Emiway Bantai Falls Headfirst During Car Stunt For 'Dubai Company'; Fans Say ‘Lala, Mat Kar'
Last Updated: Emiway Bantai's car stunt for his upcoming track Dubai Company went dangerously wrong as he fell headfirst from a moving SUV during a shoot in Sharjah. Rapper-singer Emiway Bantai, known for his unapologetic swag and viral hooks, is gearing up for the release of his new single Dubai Company—a track that promises high-octane visuals, luxe aesthetics, and adrenaline-fueled energy. But a recent behind-the-scenes video has left fans shaken instead of hyped. In a new episode of his Day to Day with Emiway vlog series (Episode 3), the rapper shared a harrowing clip that shows him performing a dangerous car stunt in Sharjah. In the video, Emiway can be seen hanging halfway out of a speeding Toyota SUV as it drifts sharply around a curve. In a shocking turn, the car jerks—and Emiway is flung out of the window, landing hard on his head. 'Stunt Gone Wrong (Day to Day with Emiway) Ep. 3 Full episode out now on my YouTube channel," he wrote on Instagram alongside a teaser of the moment that's now going viral. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Emiway Bantai (@emiwaybantai) Fans were quick to express concern and admiration for his dedication—though many begged him to never attempt something like this again. 'Oh 😮 that's right he fall down while they are doing stunts… Behind this beautiful video is a lot of hard work. But yeah Alhamdulillah he is safe now." one user commented. Another wrote, 'Itna dedication mat laao lala, ki jaan chali jaaye (Don't be so dedicated that it costs your life)." One visibly shaken fan exclaimed, 'Damn… Sar ke bal gira tha! He really be doing his own stunts." Another added, 'Mt kr lala, mt kr, mai bolra hu na tereko mt krr (Don't do it, bro… I'm seriously telling you—don't!)." Despite the mishap, the rapper emerged safe—and undeterred. Dubai Company is all set to release on Wednesday, July 23, and anticipation remains sky-high. Born Muhammad Bilal Shaikh, Emiway Bantai has become one of Indian hip-hop's most influential and polarizing figures. From his breakout 2014 hit Aur Bantai to headlining global stages, the Bengaluru-born, Mumbai-raised rapper has carved his space in desi rap through grit, rawness, and an unwavering DIY spirit. But if Dubai Company is any indication, Emiway is now pushing visual storytelling to a whole new level—even if it means taking a few dangerous turns along the way. view comments First Published: July 20, 2025, 20:00 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Emiway Bantai's prophet gave him a superstition to protect against evil eye: ‘Nothing can touch them, except death'
Indian rapper Emiway Bantai has just entered the vlogging sphere on the internet as he shared the first episode of his new vlog series on YouTube. The Bangalore-born, Mumbai-based artiste can be seen praying on the balcony of his luxurious Dubai apartment at the start of the video as he invited his fans for a sneak peek into his daily routine and practices. He is a new entry into the growing list of celebrities who have turned to vlogging recently, including Archana Puran Singh, and Farah Khan. The video has been titled Day 2 Day episode-1, clearly indicating that Emiway is going to continue with this new video series. As mentioned before, he starts his day by praying on his balcony, which overlooks the Persian Gulf and the sprawling skyline of the city. After finishing up his prayers, the rapper talked about his habit of eating kalonji (nigella seeds) and how his prophet has advised him that 'whoever eats kalonji, nothing can touch them, except death.' He was presumably talking about evil eye and curses here. He said that the drink made with nigella seeds, ginger and turmeric helps him with his immunity.

The rapper then took out his laptop and put one of his songs on export before hitting the gym. He said, 'I will put it on export now, and I will listen to it while working out in the gym and think of what else I can do with the song. The one that I am working on right now is called 'Paisa'.' He added that he has been following the same routine for the last six months but decided to relax for last four days. He then got ready to hit the weights and shared the number of health supplements he takes before he starts his gym routine, including a pre-workout drink, creatine and an EAA protein supplement. In some subtle shots scattered across the video, Emiway showcased his lavish home and some of the amenities that it comes with, including a fancy self-operational door lock. The rapper then shared some highlights from the gym and the beach, where he did some cardio to end his workout. He ended the day with working on some music at his home studio set-up, dinner comprising of meat, eggs and corn, and some more praying. Interestingly, Emiway has been making a lot of noise lately, as the rapper's last released single was a tribute song for Sidhu Moosewala to honour his upcoming birth anniversary. Emiway's last studio album came out in 2023 and was titled 'King of the Street'.

Assam teen arrested for death threat to city rapper and demanding one crore extortion
Navi Mumbai: An 18-year-old college student was arrested in Assam for sending a death threat message to city rapper Mohammad Bilal Shaikh, also known as Emiway Bantai, and demanding Rs 1 crore in extortion. The student, Arnav Ramen Kumar Haloi, claimed to be Goldy Brar, an aide of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi and the alleged mastermind of the 2022 murder of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala. The threat message was sent on May 25, coinciding with the release of an online teaser for a music video in tribute to Moose Wala. ACP Mayur Bhujbal said that Haloi, a first-year student from Sonitpur district, Assam, was arrested by the NRI coastal police team on June 1, six days after an FIR was registered for the death threat and extortion demand. Haloi previously sent threat messages to two famous singers in Bihar and Punjab, but they did not lodge police complaints, which may have emboldened him to target rapper Shaikh. He does not have a criminal record and claimed he was not associated with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. This is being verified by obtaining his mobile CDR details. Haloi stated that his intention was to make quick money by sending death threat messages to extort large sums from famous rappers and singers. An FIR was registered at the NRI coastal police station on May 27 by rapper Shaikh's manager, Pooja Kuila, who received the death threat message on May 25. This was just hours before Emiway Bantai released a music video in tribute to Moose Wala, as a teaser was posted online. The threat message was received while Shaikh was recording a song at his Seawoods studio on the morning of May 25. The message, claiming to be from Canada-based gangster Goldy Brar, warned that rapper Emiway Bantai would be killed if he failed to pay Rs one crore within 24 hours. The message also mentioned US-based Rohit Godara, another alleged key member of Bishnoi's gang, suspected to be involved in Moose Wala's murder. ACP Bhujbal stated that the message sender's mobile tower location was traced to Sonitpur district in Assam. The NRI coastal police team went to Assam on May 30 and sought the help of local police to find Haloi's residence address, from where he was arrested on May 31. He was produced before Dhekiajuli court in Sonitpur district, Assam, and his transit remand was obtained. Haloi was brought to Navi Mumbai on June 1 and produced before Belapur JMFC court, which remanded him to police custody until Thursday. An extension of his police custody for two days was obtained as the police are retrieving his previous text messages, which he might have deleted after sending threat messages to others as well.

Emiway Bantai Gets Death Threat After Releasing Sidhu Moosewala Song: 'I Will Kill Him'
Last Updated: Threat message to Emiway Bantai has been sent just a couple of days after he paid a musical tribute to the late singer Sidhu Moosewala. Rapper Muhammad Bilal Shaikh, popularly known as Emiway Bantai, has received death threats from a person who identified himself as Goldy Brar, a Canada-based close associate of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, according to the police. A mobile number registered with Shaikh's company, Bantai Records, received the message on May 25. It also demanded a ransom of Rs 1 crore from the rapper. 'I am gangster Goldy Brar. Your singer has 24 hours. I want ₹1 crore or else I will kill him," the message stated. The message also mentioned the name of US-based Rohit Godara, another close associate of the gangster, officers said. The rapper, who lives in Nerul in Navi Mumbai, filed a complaint at the NRI Coastal police station through an employee of Bantai Records who spotted the message. More details about the case are awaited. However, it should be noted that a threat message to Emiway Bantai has been sent just a couple of days after he paid a musical tribute to the late singer Sidhu Moosewala. 'Sidhu Moosewala is more than an artist–he's a movement. His voice, his message, and his spirit continue to inspire me and so many others every single day. 'Tribute to Sidhu Moosewala' is my way of showing love and respect to someone who changed the game in his own way. Sidhu and I had actually spoken about collaborating. It was something we both wanted. This tribute is my way of making that dream a reality," Bantai said in a statement after releasing the song. Talking about Sidhu Moosewala, the singer was tragically murdered on May 29, 2022. He was shot dead by assailants in his car in Jawaharke village of Mansa district. Even though he was rushed to a hospital immediately, he succumbed to his injuries before receiving medical attention. Following his murder, his parents also lead a movement to seek justice for their son. A music video was also released prominently displaying a flag with the message 'Justice for Sidhu Moosewala".
