Egyptian superstar Mohamed Ramadan has added a new milestone to his rapidly growing international presence, following a high-profile visit to the United States where he met with members of the Trump family and unveiled fresh musical projects that have captivated his fans at home and abroad.
During his recent trip to New York City, Ramadan accepted an invitation from the family of former U.S. President Donald Trump to visit them at their private residence. The visit included a personal meeting with Lara Trump, wife of Eric Trump. Ramadan shared several photos and videos from the encounter on his social media platforms, expressing gratitude for the warm reception and highlighting what he described as a meaningful cultural exchange.
“Glad to be invited by Mrs. Lara Trump and for her appreciation of my African continent, This is also an appreciation for Arab-African music. Something powerful is coming inshallah and her appreciation for my African continent. This also reflects appreciation for Arab-African music. Something great is coming, God willing,” he wrote, hinting at a potential collaboration or artistic venture involving the two.
While details of the anticipated project remain under wraps, the meeting has sparked wide speculation about Ramadan’s ambitions to cross over further into international markets, possibly through a joint venture involving music, media, or cultural promotion. The gesture from Lara Trump, a prominent figure in American media and politics, also points to the growing influence of Arab-African artists in global entertainment circles.
Ramadan’s visit to New York wasn’t limited to high-profile meetings. While filming a new music video in the city, he made a surprise appearance in Times Square that drew a large crowd of fans eager to meet the Egyptian artist. The spontaneous gathering highlighted the star’s increasing global appeal and affirmed his popularity well beyond the Middle East and North Africa.
In parallel with his U.S. visit, Ramadan launched a new single titled “Eh Ya Albi”, which quickly surged to the top of YouTube’s trending charts. The song, written by Mustafa Hadouta and composed by Taj, blends modern beats with emotionally charged lyrics that reflect themes of pain, strength, and resilience—a style that has become a hallmark of Ramadan’s recent musical identity.
In a move that further deepened fan engagement, Ramadan launched a creative contest tied to the release of “Eh Ya Albi.” The contest, announced via his Facebook page, invited all fans named “Mohamed” to comment on the song’s release post. A winner would be selected randomly to receive a 50,000 Egyptian pound cash prize. The initiative sparked thousands of responses within hours, showcasing Ramadan’s ability to generate buzz through unconventional methods and his strong connection with his audience.
This flurry of activity comes amid Ramadan’s broader artistic renaissance, marked by a series of successful singles, sold-out concerts, and strategic public appearances. Whether through social media campaigns, streetwise lyrics, or symbolic political encounters, Ramadan continues to shape a unique cultural identity—one that fuses celebrity, storytelling, and social resonance.
As anticipation builds around his hinted collaboration with Lara Trump, Ramadan appears to be positioning himself as not just a regional star, but a global cultural ambassador, using his platform to spotlight Arab-African music and influence within the international arena.
Whatever “something great” he alluded to may be, Mohamed Ramadan is clearly preparing to take his next step on a global stage one foot in Egyptian streets, the other firmly planted in international circles.

That was the article we wrote, however, what you and everyone saw wasn’t really what happened! Turns out that Lara Trump has several charitable activities that help stray dogs and she had prepared for a charitable event with a ticket of $1000 for attendance and if you want a photo with her it becomes $3500. (Ticket image below) Mohamed Ramadan paid to have a photo with Lara Trump, to appear important and to promote his latest song. That will not fly well!
