Do french people actually used verlan

Sounds a bit dumb but bear with me, just like english has slang that are used very VERY often by english speakers, is verlan the same thing but for french speakers?

Like how often do people use verlan like pretty much every conversation or sometimes.And outside of informal talks is it used in movies,songs etc?,

Or is it just some internet fad that doesn't really exists and french people just use normal french to talk
