By the early 80s Cheb Khaled was banned from Algerian television and radio. However, a performance at Algeria's first National Rai Festival took the country by storm, leading to a lifting of the ban. He moved to France in 1986, soon becoming a star among the large immigrant North African population. ""Hada Raykoum"", released in 1987, had originally appeared in Algeria two years earlier and was the first rai album to be released internationally.
Schade-Poulsen’s assessment of early Algerian articles about rai claims that rai artists shatter the concept of an ideal Algerian society by bringing forth the social and sexual problems of daily life. Not surprisingly, some Algerian journalists see rai as a disruptive force that encourages perversion through the promotion of Western values and Western culture - "a cultural imperialist force attempting to destabilize Algerian society and secularize the second generation of immigrants in France” . Khaled has stirred and challenged Algerian society with songs like “Hada Raykoum?” (“Is this your opinion?”) exemplifies the sexual energy conveyed through rai.
