The producer had been quiet on socials prior to this announcement. As previously reported by TMZ, Metro’s mother Leslie Wayne was shot and killed by her husband, who was not the producer’s father, who then turned the gun on himself on June 3. Law enforcement discovered Wayne’s body in an area outside of Atlanta, and an autopsy will be conducted to reveal the official cause of death.
Wayne raised Metro along with three other siblings and, as told by Metro, was the earliest supporter of his music. On her birthday in 2019, the platinum producer gifted her a birthday purse in the passenger seat of a car, and called her his “biggest inspiration.”
