Leland Tyler Wayne (born September 16, 1993), known professionally as Metro Boomin, is an American record producer. Widely acclaimed for his dark and cinematic production style, he is regarded as one of the most influential producers in contemporary hip-hop and trap music. He has produced hit songs for prominent music industry artists, such as Future, Post Malone, 21 Savage, Kanye West, the Weeknd, Young Thug, Drake, Juice Wrld, Travis Scott and Kendrick Lamar.

Raised in St. Louis, Missouri, Wayne began his career in music production in 2009 at the age of 16.{{cite web|last=Kellman|first=Andy|title=Metro Boomin – Biography & History|url=https://www.allmusic.com/artist/metro-boomin-mn0003138395/biography|website=AllMusic|access-date=December 5, 2017|archive-date=March 30, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200330150450/https://www.allmusic.com/artist/metro-boomin-mn0003138395/biography|url-status=live}} He relocated to Atlanta to attend Morehouse College in 2011, during which he worked extensively with Atlanta-based artists including Future, Young Thug, 21 Savage, Gucci Mane, and Migos. Wayne gained wider recognition for co-producing the 2014 single "Tuesday" for iLoveMakonnen, which peaked at number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100. He was credited on a string of similarly successful singles throughout 2016, including "Jumpman" by Drake and Future, "Father Stretch My Hands" by Kanye West, "Low Life" by Future, and his first number-one production, "Bad and Boujee" by Migos. This was followed by the diamond-certified (14x platinum) "Congratulations" by Post Malone, "Tunnel Vision" by Kodak Black, "Mask Off" by Future, "Bank Account" by 21 Savage, and his second number-one production, "Heartless" by the Weeknd.{{Cite web |url=https://www.xxlmag.com/the-weeknd-heartless-billboard-hot-100/ |title=The Weeknd's "Heartless" Song Reaches No. 1 on Billboard Hot 100 |website=XXL |date=December 9, 2019 |access-date=February 20, 2021 |archive-date=June 14, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230614004614/https://www.xxlmag.com/the-weeknd-heartless-billboard-hot-100/ |url-status=live }}{{Cite magazine|title=The Weeknd|url=https://www.billboard.com/artist/the-weeknd/chart-history/hsi/|access-date=May 20, 2021|magazine=Billboard|archive-date=August 25, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190825112435/https://www.billboard.com/music/the-weeknd/chart-history/Hot-100|url-status=live}}

Heroes & Villains spawned the single "Creepin" (with the Weeknd and 21 Savage), which peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot 100 and within the top ten of several countries. We Don't Trust You spawned the single "Like That" (with Future and Kendrick Lamar), which became his first number-one song on the chart as a lead performer. In addition, he has released the collaborative projects Savage Mode (2016) and Savage Mode II (2020) with 21 Savage, DropTopWop (2017) with Gucci Mane, Perfect Timing (2017) with Nav, and Double or Nothing (2017) with Big Sean.{{Cite magazine|title=Migos|url=https://www.billboard.com/artist/migos/chart-history/hsi/|access-date=May 20, 2021|magazine=Billboard|archive-date=May 13, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180513200325/https://www.billboard.com/music/Migos/chart-history/hot-100|url-status=live}}

In hip-hop, producers may choose to mark their work with a producer tag, a catchy shout-out usually placed at the beginning of a song which allows listeners to recognize and appreciate certain producers. Metro has been credited for making this technique more compelling on specific tracks.{{Cite web |last=III |first=Robby Seabrook IIIRobby Seabrook |date=October 16, 2021 |title=Here Are 50 of the Greatest Producer Tags in Hip-Hop |url=https://www.xxlmag.com/hip-hop-producer-tags/ |access-date=May 26, 2023 |website=XXL Mag |language=en |archive-date=January 4, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220104232506/https://www.xxlmag.com/hip-hop-producer-tags/ |url-status=live }}

His first producer tag was "This beat is so, so Metro" and it was used in songs like "Karate Chop (Remix)", "Ugly" by Soulja Boy and "Chanel Vintage" in 2013–2014.

One of Metro's more viral tags, "Metro Boomin want some more, nigga",{{cite web | last=Pierre | first=Alphonse | url=https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/metro-boomin-not-all-heroes-wear-capes/ | date=November 7, 2018 | title=Metro Boomin Not All Heroes Wear Capes | access-date=January 15, 2022 | work=Pitchfork | archive-date=November 7, 2018 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181107120032/https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/metro-boomin-not-all-heroes-wear-capes/ | url-status=live }} originates from vocals of the Boomin-produced song "Some More" by Young Thug, and received widespread attention in early 2016.

Metro's most prominent and iconic tag "If Young Metro don't trust you I'm gon' shoot you" is performed by Future. The origin of the tag comes from the song "Right Now" by Uncle Murda, also produced by Boomin. The tag appeared first in Drake and Future's 2015 song, "Jumpman" from the collaborative mixtape What a Time to Be Alive,{{cite news|url=https://www.buzzfeed.com/krystieyandoli/if-young-metro-dont-trust-you|title=Here's The Story Behind The Phrase "If Young Metro Don't Trust You, they Gon' Shoot You"|last=Lee Yandoli|first=Krystie|access-date=December 5, 2018|work=Buzzfeed|archive-date=December 6, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181206001625/https://www.buzzfeed.com/krystieyandoli/if-young-metro-dont-trust-you|url-status=live}} and gained widespread attention after its use in the Kanye West song "Father Stretch My Hands, Pt. 1".{{cite news|url=https://www.vibe.com/music/music-news/metro-boomin-if-young-metro-dont-trust-you-tagline-410615/|title=Metro Boomin Explains The Origin Of His 'If Young Metro Don't Trust You' Tagline|last=Golding|first=Shendqua|access-date=March 3, 2023|work=VIBE|archive-date=February 27, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230227182702/https://www.vibe.com/music/music-news/metro-boomin-if-young-metro-dont-trust-you-tagline-410615/|url-status=live}}

Another well-known tag is "Young Metro, young Metro, young Metro" spoken by his longtime collaborator Future.

=Sexual assault allegations=

On October 29, 2024, Wayne was sued for sexual assault of a woman, named Vanessa LeMaistre, which allegedly happened in Los Angeles in September 2016.{{Cite magazine |last=Zemler |first=Emily |date=2024-10-30 |title=Metro Boomin Sued for Alleged Sexual Assault, Resulting Pregnancy |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/metro-boomin-sued-alleged-sexual-assault-pregnancy-1235146952/ |access-date=2024-10-30 |magazine=Rolling Stone |language=en-US}} In the lawsuit that was filed in the Superior Court of Los Angeles, the woman alleged that she visited the producer at a recording studio in California, where she was given an alcoholic beverage and swallowed half a Xanax, an anxiety medication she was taking after the loss of her son. After consuming both substances, she lost consciousness and woke up in a hotel room in Beverly Hills, while Wayne was raping her. The woman claims she passed out again, and woke up to Wayne performing oral sex on her. A few weeks after the alleged assault, LeMaistre found out she was pregnant and underwent an abortion due to her deteriorating mental health. The lawsuit also refers to the lyrics of a song "Rap Saved Me" by 21 Savage, Offset, Metro Boomin and Quavo, which include the lines: “She took a Xanny, then she fainted/ I’m from the gutter, ain’t no changing/ From the gutter, rap saved me/ She drive me crazy, have my baby.” The woman believes the lyrics recount the alleged assault and resulting pregnancy. It also points to tweets posted by Wayne, including the deleted ones, that are indicative of "his intentions to hurt women".{{Cite news |last=Vinall |first=Frances |date=October 30, 2024 |title=Rap producer Metro Boomin accused of rape in lawsuit |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/style/2024/10/30/metro-boomin-sued-rape-lawsuit/ |access-date=October 30, 2024 |newspaper=The Washington Post}}{{Cite web |last=Moore |first=Sam |date=2024-10-30 |title=Metro Boomin Accused Of Raping Woman & Getting Her Pregnant In New Lawsuit |url=https://hiphopdx.com/news/metro-boomin-rape-pregnant-lawsuit |access-date=2024-10-30 |website=HipHopDX}}{{Cite web |last=Chelosky |first=Danielle |date=2024-10-29 |title=Metro Boomin Sued For Alleged Rape |url=https://www.stereogum.com/2285871/metro-boomin-sued-for-alleged-rape/news/ |access-date=2024-10-30 |website=Stereogum}} One of the tweets quoted in the lawsuit appears to refer to sexual activity under the influence of a party drug, MDMA: "She gon suck me whether she like it or not.

Wayne's lawyer, Lawrence Hinkle II, denied the accusations and said Wayne will defend himself in court, and "file a claim for malicious prosecution once he prevails." In response to Hinkle's statement, Michael J. Willemin, one of LaMaistre's attorneys, said that "making defamatory remarks is not going to help Metro Boomin’s case".{{Cite web |last=Strauss |first=Matthew |date=2024-10-30 |title=Metro Boomin Sued for Sexual Battery |url=https://pitchfork.com/news/metro-boomin-sued-for-sexual-battery/ |access-date=2024-10-30 |website=Pitchfork |language=en-US}}{{Cite web |last1=Reed |first1=Anika |last2=Moorman |first2=Taijuan |title=Metro Boomin sued by woman claiming producer sexually assaulted, impregnated her |url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities/2024/10/30/metro-boomin-lawsuit-sexual-assault-pregnancy-vanessa-lemaistre/75935177007/ |access-date=2024-10-30 |website=USA Today}}
