Metro Boomin, the famed hip-hop producer, embarked on a historic journey to Egypt with his iconic drums in tow. The trip would go down in history as he became the first producer to perform at the Great Pyramids, a magnificent and ancient wonder of the world.
According to reports from Complex, the "Superhero" hitmaker put on a groundbreaking show for thousands of fans at the Great Pyramids complex in Giza, Egypt on April 30th. The stage was set near the Great Pyramid, the Pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure, and the Great Sphinx, allowing for a breathtaking backdrop to Metro's setlist of popular tracks.
As a St. Louis native, Metro took in the grandeur of the Great Pyramids and shared some photos of the experience on his Instagram. These pyramids are the only remaining wonder from the ancient world, making it a truly special and awe-inspiring place to perform.
Metro's visit to Egypt was made possible through a partnership with Billboard Arabia. The trip included a visit to the royal Abdeen Palace in Cairo, as well as the unforgettable performance at the Great Pyramids. Billboard Arabia posted about the experience on their Instagram, highlighting the impact of Metro's music across borders and generations.
The announcement of the show came via a tweet from Metro himself, just a month before the historic performance. This announcement came amidst a well-publicized feud between Metro and rapper Drake. However, when announcing the show, Metro chose to focus on the positive aspect of his trip rather than the ongoing rap beef.
Metro Boomin now joins a small group of artists who have had the honor of performing at the Great Pyramids, including Grateful Dead in 1978 and Shakira in 2007. Rapper Travis Scott also attempted to book a show at the pyramids last year, but it was ultimately canceled due to logistical issues.
In the midst of this exciting news, the hip-hop community was struck with tragedy as Metro's mother was killed by her husband. Despite this heartbreaking loss, Metro's show at the Great Pyramids will always be remembered as a historic and groundbreaking moment in his already impressive career.
