Шаблон:Advert Шаблон:Infobox musical artist Christopher Saint Victor (born November 16, 1995), better known by his stage name Flipp Dinero, is an American rapper, singer, and songwriter from Brooklyn, New York City. He is best known for his 2018 single "Leave Me Alone," which received quadruple platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and peaked at number 20 on the Billboard Hot 100. After both football wide-receiver Odell Beckham Jr. and NBA player Jordan Bell danced and performed the song Instagram, it quickly gained viral status.[1]

He was first discovered by fellow Brooklyn rapper Joey Badass and led to sign with Cinematic Music Group in May 2016,[2][3] and two years later, Victor signed a joint venture with DJ Khaled's We the Best Music Group, an imprint of Epic Records to re-issue "Leave Me Alone" as his debut single in August 2018.[4] The song served as the lead single for his debut studio album Love for Guala (2019), which was released in November of the following year to commercial failure.[5][6]

Lows promoted Flipp's music and connected him with other artists.[8] During this time, Flipp Dinero received early recognition from Brooklyn-based rapper Joey Badass who had heard his tracks, Smoke2This, I Do, and others.[8] Flipp Dinero signed with Cinematic Music Group in the summer of 2016[9][1] and then later signed with record labels Epic Records and DJ Khaled's We the Best Music Group. Flipp Dinero's music style combines R&B and gospel singing with rapping, hip-hop, and trap music.

In 2017, Flipp Dinero was featured five times on Spotify's popular hip-hop 'Most Necessary' playlist. Later in 2017, Flipp made his first performance on Complex, with his single "I do." This led to the release of his debut EP titled The Guala Way in June 2017, which reached over 2 million streams.[10]

With the help of his brother, Flipp Dinero recorded and released his hit song, "Leave Me Alone" in 2018. The song was written as an expression of his troubles with a woman that would not leave him alone.[11] In 2018 his song "Leave Me Alone" aired on multiple radio stations.[7] "Leave Me Alone" was later recognized by the Cleveland Browns' NFL football player, Odell Beckham Jr., who posted a dancing video to this song on Instagram, which led the song to "go viral" and increase rapidly in popularity.[1] Months later, famous Canadian rapper, singer, songwriter, Drake, featured "Leave Me Alone" on his Instagram Story as a song which had inspired him while producing his new album Scorpion.[12][13][11] "Leave Me Alone", became certified platinum by the RIAA on January 15, 2019[14] and later went double-platinum on May 23, 2019.[15][16]

In 2019, Flipp Dinero was featured on hip-hop media company XXL 2019 Freshman class after performing his freestyle "What I do".[17][18] Later in 2019, Flipp released his album Love for Guala, which reached #132 on US Billboard 200.[19] Flipp Dinero's record, "How I Move", was written to share Dinero's experience in Canarsie as a rapper from a lower socio-economic area.[7]

Flipp includes the word "Guala" into his album titles. The term is a reference to Gods, Unique, Accolade, Life, Acquired and holds great meaning to him.[7]
