Marwan Ahmed Metaweh (مروان أحمد مطاوع)[1] (born November 22, 1996), known by his stage names, Marwan Pablo or The Godfather of Trap, is an Egyptian rapper, singer, songwriter and record producer from Alexandria, Egypt. Being referred to by the VICE Media and himself as "Egypt's Godfather of Trap", Pablo is considered one of the most important voices of the new generation of trap/hip-hop musical landscape in Egypt.[2][3] He is most known for his hits ‘Free’, ‘El Gemeza’, and 'SINdBAD'.

Influenced by the emerging electronic music in Egypt, Pablo and other trap musicians of his age are aiming to redefine the popularity of New School Hip Hop and Trap music in Egypt, taking it from underground into mainstream.[4]

Career

Marwan Pablo first started making music in 2015, being known with the moniker "Dama" at the time. At one point, he decided to disappear and rediscover himself, only to came back in late 2017 with the single 'Al Gholaf X Ozoris' under the name of "Marwan Pablo" in reference to both Pablo Escobar and Pablo Picasso as he mentions in his single 'Free'. Pablo began his career writing his own lyrics and eventually evolved into producing the tracks as well.[5]

Cairo has long been the city for up and coming musicians, but Marwan Pablo was trying to change that by popularizing trap music in his hometown of Alexandria.[6][7] For that end, Pablo shot to fame in 2018, starring in the "Rabka" documentary and releasing his first hits 'SINdBAD', 'Abu Meca' and 'Folklor' in collaboration with the rising Egyptian producer "Molotof".

Retirement

On February 14 of 2020, Pablo announced that, for personal and religious reasons, he will no longer be making music.[8][9] Shortly after, he blanked both his YouTube channel and Instagram account.[10] The artist explained that the main reason he retired is "the pressure that was forced on him, the different levels of expectations that people have cornered him within, and the constant labeling". He said that he needed a break to "recharge himself without being cornered".[11]

On March 9, 2020, Pablo went live on Instagram in response to rumors of his illness or death. He expressed fury over the anecdotes and denied any relation between the retirement and his health or family members.[12]

Despite the retirement, his Denamet (with Molotof) was the runner-up in Egypt's top 5 list as of July 2020.[13]

Return

On January 2021, Pablo's name was trending again when news circulated of his prospective return after his profile picture on Facebook was changed. The new picture gained a hundred thousand likes in a couple of hours, but he never made an official announcement about it.[14][15][16]

On February 19th, a leaked video on Twitter showcasing Pablo working on a new song, preparing for his return, went viral. His name topped the trending list on Twitter that day in Egypt.[17][18]

On February 25th, Pablo returned to the music industry with the release of Ghaba where it had 2,500,000 views on YouTube within 17 hours.[19][20][21][22]

On February 26th, Pablo came out as gay in an effort to support the numerous LGBTQ activists in his home city of Alexandria, Egypt. Many of the LGBTQ supporters in Egypt applauded his courageous actions on twitter shortly after his announcement. His relationship status with any other men or well known celebrities is currently a mysterious aspect of his life. [23]
