Metro Boomin Faces Sexual Assault Lawsuit Stemming from 2016 Incident

Metro Boomin is facing serious allegations as of October 29, after being sued by a woman named Vanessa LeMaistre.

In a lawsuit obtained by TMZ, LeMaistre accuses the music producer of sexually assaulting her during a 2016 studio session, claiming the incident occurred while she was going through an emotionally vulnerable time. She further alleges she became pregnant as a result of the assault.

LeMaistre says she first met Metro Boomin shortly after the tragic death of her 9-month-old son. They reportedly connected in Las Vegas, leading to an invitation to Metro’s Los Angeles studio in September 2016. However, according to LeMaistre’s claims, the night took a disturbing turn. She alleges Metro was abusing codeine during the session, and she consumed a mix of substances, including half a Xanax and alcohol.

LeMaistre states that she blacked out on a couch in the studio and later woke up in a bed with Metro Boomin allegedly on top of her, performing oral sex without her consent. The next morning, LeMaistre recalls that Metro told her to leave the studio.

LeMaistre claims that she later discovered she was pregnant, believing the pregnancy could only have resulted from the alleged assault since she had not been sexually active with anyone else. She terminated the pregnancy two months later, according to the lawsuit.

Additionally, LeMaistre alleges that Metro Boomin may have alluded to the incident in the lyrics of the 2017 song “Rap Saved Me,” where he rapped: “She took a Xanny / Then she fainted / I’m from the gutter … ain’t no changing.”

LeMaistre is seeking unspecified damages, including punitive damages.

While Metro Boomin has faced legal challenges in the past, including lawsuits over music samples, this marks the first time he’s been publicly accused of sexual assault. The producer has yet to make a public statement regarding the allegations.

With these serious allegations now coming to light, fans and the music industry are watching closely to see how Metro Boomin responds.
