Rapper French Montana Performs Umrah Pilgrimage in Mecca with Mother

A stay immortalized in Saudi Arabia. Many photos and videos showing French Montana performing the rites of the Umrah, accompanied by his mother and other family members, have appeared on social media. Enough to inflame the web.

Last November, the rapper celebrated his 39th birthday by organizing a party called Moroccan Nights on his private property in Hidden Hills, during which he paid tribute to his rich Moroccan heritage. The venue was decorated with a complex Moroccan decor - including a range of exotic animals, including goats, zebras and camels - highlighting Moroccan culture. Industry heavyweights such as Travis Scott, Offset, Chris Brown, Zack Bia, El Gara Gayn Castel (founder of El Gara Gayn Clothing) and other celebrities were treated to a show by belly dancers. Not to mention the delicious Moroccan-inspired meals.

At the age of 13, the native of Casablanca discovered hip-hop culture in the Bronx. Passionate, the young Karim Kharbouch launched into mixtapes and street DVDs and worked with underground artists. His career took off with the release of the DVD, the Cocaine City series of street, but it was his collaboration with Max B that truly propelled him to the forefront of the scene. French Montana’s signing with Diddy’s Bad Boy Records made him even more famous. His hits like "Pop That" and "Unforgettable," certified 10 times platinum and Diamond, dominate the charts. The successes follow one another: his studio albums, such as Excuse My French and Jungle Rules, bring in a lot of money and are acclaimed by critics. Collaborations with Drake, Lil Wayne and Rick Ross reinforce the place of the performer of "famous" in the rap industry.

Last year, French Montana released "For Khadija" in tribute to his mother. The documentary follows "the unlikely rise of French Montana, a multi-platinum Moroccan artist, whose single mother sacrificed everything to raise her three young sons in the Bronx, after being abandoned by their father and left destitute. The film travels the world describing the unique journey of an immigrant family, the perseverance of a son facing insurmountable obstacles and the unwavering faith of a mother, all in pursuit of the American dream," summarizes the synopsis.
