# Set Metadata
In the `Metadata` event, the `content` is set to a stringified JSON object
`{name: <username>, about: <string>, picture: <url, string>}` describing the [user](../core/user) who created the event. A relay may
delete older events once it gets a new one for the same pubkey.
## Setting the user's metadata
```ruby
metadata_event = user.create_event(
kind: Nostr::EventKind::SET_METADATA,
content: {
name: 'Wilson Silva',
about: 'Used to make hydrochloric acid bombs in high school.',
picture: 'https://thispersondoesnotexist.com/'
}
)
client.publish(metadata_event)
```
