Ferme ta gueule is a common French slang expression, a much ruder version of tais-toi. This recording circulates under the title Quand les français apprennent l'arabe, credited to Go Amen, framing it as a joke about French speakers picking up Arabic expressions. Shared as a short voice note and meme audio, it spread through messaging apps and soundboards where French shut up clips are staples. Its staying power comes from how instantly recognisable and quotable the insult is in French internet humour.
