As several publications like Local 10 News reported that Metro Boomin's rented yacht caught fire, the music producer indirectly denied the claims by posting an Instagram story soon after the incident. He said:
“Don’t believe everything you see online. Clout got the world in a chokehold.”
While it still cannot be confirmed if the yacht was being rented by Metro Boomin, Local 10 News quoted Michael Marhefka, the director of the security of the club, who said,
“Around 3 o’clock the boat arrived, it was Metro Boomin. The boat pulled up and they were on the boat for maybe 30 minutes at the dock and we noticed what sounded like fire alarms going off. When we looked at the boat we did see some smoke inside the boat. We made the determination to evacuate the boat immediately.”
Other than urging people to not believe everything they see online, Metro Boomin claimed that he is currently working on 1300Saint’s new album.
Best known for producing songs like Tuesday, Jumpman, Bad and Boujee, and many more, the record producer is currently enjoying the success of We Still Don’t Trust You, a collaborative album that he released with Future, in 2024.
