Metro Boomin is currently facing a lawsuit from a woman who claims the producer allegedly raped and impregnated her in 2016 after meeting him at a chance meeting in Las Vegas. According to Metro Boomin's lawyer, this is nothing more than a money grab for the accuser.
TMZ first reported on the lawsuit filed against Metro Boomin and the details are as follows. According to the filing, the woman says she met Metro in Las Vegas while on a getaway vacation following the death of her 9-month-old son.
According to the documents, a woman named Vanessa LeMaistre claims she hung out with Metro at his Los Angeles recording studio and said she allegedly saw the producer downing codeine. From what we understand from the report, LeMaistre says she was at the studio in September 2016 and took Xanax and a shot of alcohol, but later said she passed out.
LeMaistre added to her claim that when she woke up, she was in a bed with Metro raping her and allegedly performing other sexual acts. LeMaistre says she passed out once again and was in a hotel room in Beverly Hills, but didn't remember how she got into the facility. LeMaistre says she found out she was pregnant after the attack and said Metro was the father, but terminated the pregnancy in November 2016.
In an update to TMZ's original report, Metro Boomin's attorney offered a statement regarding the lawsuit.
From TMZ:
According to Metro Boomin's (real name Leland Wayne) attorney Lawrence Hinkle II of Sanders Roberts LLP tells TMZ… “This is a clean shakedown. These are false accusations. Mr. Wayne refused to pay her months ago and refuses to pay her now. Mr. Wayne will defend himself in court. He will file a claim for malicious prosecution once he prevails.”
Metro Boomin has yet to respond publicly beyond this statement.
