Metro Boomin Performs For Thousands At The Egyptian Pyramids

by

It’s been an undoubtedly busy few weeks for Metro Boomin, and fortunately for him, it hasn’t all been beef-related. According to TMZ, the award-winning producer performed for thousands of fans at The Egyptian Great Pyramids complex at the end of last month. The stage he performed on was right next to the Great Pyramid, The Great Sphinx, and the Pyramids of Khafre.

He first announced the performance in early April, telling fans, “In other news I’m doing a show at the Pyramids in Giza [head exploding emojis].” He also shared a poster for the event featuring him, the Sphinx, and the pyramids. Aside from performing, Metro also got the opportunity to visit with officials at the royal Abdeen Palace in Cairo.

Metro Boomin’s Egyptian Pyramids Show

Based on his social media activity, he was also able to do a bit of exploring during his visit to the Middle East. He posted a few photos of himself earlier this week posing alongside a camel. “From St. Louis to the pyramids,” he captioned one of the fun shots. It looks like Metro Boomin had a relaxing trip, but got right back to business when the show was over. Days after the performance, Metro Boomin unleashed on Drake in a heated Twitter rant, calling him out for some questionable past behavior. He later started a contest with his diss beat dubbed “BBL Drizzy,” offering up a cash reward for the best submission.

Shortly after that, some of Metro Boomin’s disturbing old Tweets resurfaced, reading “She might be young but she ready” and “Got your lil sister on them mollies she done ran thru the whole squad.” Since then, the nickname “Metro Groomin” has been thrown around, though he denies any wrongdoing. What do you think of Metro Boomin performing at the Egyptian Pyramids? What about him meeting with officials at the royal Abdeen Palace in Cairo?

Kanye West Could Perform At Pyramids Of Giza & Great Wall Of China

by

With the first volume of Vultures only days away from dropping, it looks like Kanye West could have some exciting shows lined up in the near future. According to a new screenshot, he was allegedly offered opportunities to perform at various major international venues recently. In the conversation, Ye’s seemingly informed that the Corcovado in Brazil, the Great Wall of China, and the Giza Pyramids would “love to have” him.

It’s unclear whether or not Ye will actually perform at any of these destinations. It wouldn’t be the first time fans saw him at a historic venue, however. Back in August, Travis Scott performed at the iconic Circus Maximus in Italy after his own scheduled show at the Giza Pyramids was canceled. During the show, he brought Ye onstage for a couple of songs.

Kanye West Seemingly Offered International Shows

The alleged screenshots surfaced after Ye shared that he was having trouble getting venues to book him. He suggested that it’s due to his infamous 2022 antisemitism scandal. He had already secured a spot at Chicago’s United Center on February 9 but was out of luck elsewhere. Fortunately, after hearing Ye’s plea, several of his well-connected friends reached out with opportunities.

Shortly after, talk of a 2024-2025 world tour began after Ye posted a screenshot of some tentative tour dates. Potential destinations could include Toronto, New York, Atlanta, Cairo, Dubai, Tokyo, and more. Clearly, there are still plenty of venues willing to host Ye, but fans will just have to wait and see what ends up being confirmed. What do you think of rumors that Kanye West could perform at the Corcovado, the Great Wall of China, or the Pyramids of Giza? Which venue would you like to see him perform at?

Ice Spice Shares Her Love For Pyramids In New Interview

by

Ice Spice is having a breakout year in 2023 and she stands apart from a lot of her contemporaries. That’s why she often gets asked some strange questions in interviews. In a new clip making the rounds, she has a hilarious interaction when somebody brings up architecture. “Do you know much about architecture?” the interviewer asks her. She takes a second to think before saying “Yeah.” He follows it up asking “Do you have a favorite?” and it doesn’t take her very long to respond. “I like pyramids,” she hits back.

In the comments of the post, fans digest her answer and come up with their own responses. “Pyramids are cool, so I guess that makes her cool too,” one fan muses. “She’s real because we all would’ve said the same thing while being put on the spot,” another agrees. Elsewhere fans made clever retorts like “Me when somebody asks me my Frank Ocean song,” they say in reference to the R&B darling’s fan-favorite single “Pyramids.” Check out the interview clip below.

Ice Spice Says Her Favorite Architecture Is Pyramids

Ice Spice popped up in plenty of places during New York Fashion Week. Videos of her performing at a concert sponsored by Bose hit the internet last week. In the clips, she’s sporting an adorable matching pink skirt and crop top with knee-high socks. Pictures of her attending a fashion show alongside Coi Leray and Kali Uchis also made the rounds, though some fans took issue with Coi seemingly riding Spice’s wave for clout.

Ice Spice also had a pretty big night at the recent MTV Video Music Awards. She took home the fan-voted Best New Artist award beating out Peso Pluma and Renee Rapp. She was also seated next to Taylor Swift all night, which meant she was on camera a lot as Swift took home one award after another. What do you think of Ice Spice having an answer to the architecture question ready immediately? Let us know in the comment section below.

The massive Travis Scott concert at the pyramids has been paused for now, but fans still gathered at the pyramids to celebrate the rapper’s new album UTOPIA. Videos of rapping fans near the pyramids have hit social media.

Travis Scott’s UTOPIA show was placed on hold but he vows that it will happen. After the cancellation notice went out, Travis issued a follow-up tweet.

“Egypt at the pyramids will happen,” Travis wrote. “But due to demand and detail logistics They just need a bit a time to set lay on lands. I will keep u posted on a date which will be soon.”

Live Nation Middle East released a statement on Wednesday, citing the show is off due to “complex production issues.”

“We regret to inform you that the Utopia show, originally scheduled for July 28th at the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt is cancelled,” Live Nation Middle East’s statement said on Twitter. “Unfortunately, despite highest efforts, complex production issues meant that the show could not be constructed in the desert.

“We understand that this news is disappointing and not the outcome any of us desired. Refunds will be issued to all ticket holders at their point of purchase. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this cancellation may have caused and appreciate your understanding. We remain committed to bringing exceptional live performances to fans and hope to have the opportunity to do so in the future.”

Previously, Travis Scott was the subject of rumors that his show in front of the pyramids in Egypt had been canceled. According to outlets in Egypt, The Egyptian Syndicate of Musical Professions, who provide permits, nixed the show.

“Since the General Syndicate is part of the fabric of this beloved country it is keen on its stability and refuses to tamper with societal values and Egyptian and Arab customs,” the statement reads.

The Syndicate added, “Based on research and documented information about strange rituals at Travis’s concerts that are inconsistent with our authentic societal values and traditions, the Board of Directors has decided to cancel the license issued to hold this type of concert that contradicts the cultural identity of the Egyptian people.”

Representatives from Live Nation have responded, stating, “There have been no changes to Travis Scott’s show in Egypt; any reports to the contrary are false. We can’t wait to celebrate ‘Utopia’ with you in Egypt!”

Reps for Scott also reached out to Hypebeast, denying the show was canceled.

Travis Scott announced in celebration of his highly anticipated new album, Utopia, he would perform a special show in front of the Pyramids of Egypt on July 28th. The Pyramids, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, will be the awe-inspiring backdrop for this immersive experience.

Fans of Travis Scott celebrated the release of Utopia at the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt, where the rapper had intended to host a concert. Video of the group of fans partying while rapping the lyrics to “No Bystanders” has gone viral on social media. A fan page of Scott’s shared the initial video of the night, which prompted more fans to share their own clips.

Live Nation first announced the cancelation of Scott’s concert on July 26. “We regret to inform you that the UTOPIA show, originally scheduled for July 28th at the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt is canceled,” the company said in a statement on Twitter. “Unfortunately, despite highest efforts, complex production issues meant that the show could not be constructed in the desert.

Scott later confirmed that he still intends to perform at the pyramids in some capacity, but will have to figure out a new date. “Egypt at the pyramids will happen But due to demand and detail logistics They just need a bit a time to set lay on lands,” Scott said in a tweet.

Egyptian General Syndicate for Musical Professions halted the concert shortly after Scott announced it. “Since the General Syndicate is part of the fabric of this beloved country it is keen on its stability and refuses to tamper with societal values and Egyptian and Arab customs,” the organization said in a statement. “Based on research and documented information about strange rituals at Travis’s concerts that are inconsistent with our authentic societal values and traditions, the Board of Directors has decided to cancel the license issued to hold this type of concert that contradicts the cultural identity of the Egyptian people.”

Travis Scott Banned From Performing At The Pyramids In Egypt

by

Travis Scott had some big plans next week for his new album Utopia. The plan was for him to perform the album in full at the Pyramids in Egypt. Overall, this would happen just outside of Cairo, which is the country’s capital. Tickets for the show had already completely sold out. Although the show is a long way from the United States, this felt like a truly incredible idea. After all, what better way to display a new album than in front of one of the world’s greatest wonders?

Unfortunately, it would appear as though Travis Scott needs to come up with some new plans for his show. According to Yahoo!, the Egyptian musicians’ syndicate has declared that it will not allow Travis to perform. Overall, this decision comes as a bit of a surprise. Typically, artists are allowed to perform at the Pyramids. However, hip-hop has become a target of the syndicate as of late. It has been claimed that the genre goes against the country’s “traditions” at times.

Travis Scott Will Need To Make New Plans

As it turns out, the syndicate took a look at Travis’ planned stage show, and was immediately appalled by some of the “rituals” he was going to perform. “The syndicate found images and documented information on the strange rituals he practices, which go against our traditions,” a statement from the group explained. Simply put, they felt like Scott’s performance was disrespectful to Egyptian culture. Although, they did not explain exactly what Scott was going to do.

This is a huge blow to the Utopia roll out. For now, Travis has yet to give a statement on exactly what is going on. Only time will tell what he decides to do next. Let us know what you think of all this, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the music world.

Russ Reminds Travis Scott That He Went To The Pyramids First

by

Russ is someone who has a massive following all around the world. Although he has had his fair share of feuds with other artists in the industry, he has maintained his lane. Overall, he has done a great job of building up his fanbase in an organic way. Now, whenever he goes overseas or to a new country, he has thousands of adoring fans watching him perform. For some, this has been baffling as you rarely hear about Russ alongside some of hip-hop’s heavyweights. Regardless, his following persists, whether you’re paying attention or not.

As a result of people not giving him his respect, he has had a bit of a chip on his shoulder over the years. Consequently, whenever someone throws disrespect his way, he tries to correct people. Well, that happened over the weekend as Travis Scott revealed that he would be performing at the pyramids in Egypt. Many on social media were saying that Scott was the first to do it. However, Russ had already done so in October of last year. This led to a couple of tweets in regard to the situation.

Russ Sets The Record Straight

Russ also went on to note that Scott is selling CDs of the album for $12 which just so happens to be how much he is selling vinyls of his album Santiago. The implications here are fairly clear. That said, this call-out will not deter fans from traveling out to the Egyptian desert for some incredible music. Utopia has the potential to be the biggest album of the entire year, and fans cannot wait to hear it. Hopefully, it is an album that lives up to the hype.

As for Russ, Santiago promises to be his best album yet. There is quite a bit of fanfare surrounding its release, and it should be interesting to see what direction he goes in. Let us know which album you’re most excited for, down in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from around the music world.
