Metro Boomin Found Not Liable on Civil Sexual Assault Charges

Metro Boomin, the producer known for his work with hip-hop giants like Drake and Future, was found not liable by a Los Angeles jury in a recent civil case alleging sexual assault against him.

The civil case:

• Metro Boomin, real name Leland Tyler Wayne, was charged with four counts of rape and sexual battery.

• The jury found him not guilty on all charges.

• The lawsuit was first presented in October 2024 by Vanessa LeMaistre, who alleged that Wayne assaulted her in 2016.

What they said:

• Wayne: “I’m grateful and thankful to God that I can finally put all of this nonsense behind me. Based off of how I treat others and represent myself, never in a million years would I have thought I could be accused of such a disgusting and heinous act.”

• Wayne’s attorney, Lawrence C. Hinkle II of Sanders Roberts LLP: “We are extremely grateful for the jury’s careful consideration of the evidence and for reaching the correct decision. The allegations against Mr. Wayne were frivolous and unequivocally false. Mr. Wayne has endured serious and damaging accusations, and today’s verdict confirms what he has always said – the plaintiff’s claims against him are completely fabricated.”
