Metro Boomin, whose real name is Leland Tyler Wayne, is facing a lawsuit for sexual battery. A woman named Vanessa LeMaistre claims he raped her in 2016, leading to an unwanted pregnancy that she terminated. LeMaistre alleges that she met Wayne in Las Vegas and felt safe around him. She claims that after consuming alcohol and a sedative, she lost consciousness and woke up to find Wayne on top of her, asserting that the sexual acts were non-consensual. Wayne's attorney has denied the allegations, calling them false and a "pure shakedown." He stated that Wayne will defend himself in court and plans to file a claim for malicious prosecution.
