Metro Boomin has been accused of raping a woman in an explosive new lawsuit.
The multi-platinum producer (real name Leland Wayne) stands accused of sexually assaulting Vanessa LeMaistre at a Los Angeles recording studio in 2016, with the alleged incident resulting in her falling pregnant.

According to legal documents obtained by TMZ, LeMaistre is seeking unspecified damages for the pain and anguish she suffered as a result of the alleged attack.
In the lawsuit, LeMaistre claims she was invited to Metro’s studio in September 2016 after hitting it off with the producer earlier that year while she was grieving the death of her nine-month-old son.

At the studio, the woman says she witnessed Metro take a large amount of codeine against the warning of his friends. Looking to numb the pain of losing her child, LeMaistre took half a tablet of Xanax and a shot of alcohol herself.
She claims the combination of the two substances caused her to pass out on a couch.

LeMaistre alleges that she later woke up to find Metro raping her and performing oral sex on her on a bed in a hotel in Beverly Hills, and that she did not know how she ended up there.
The woman adds that as a result of the assault she became pregnant and that she had no other sexual partners during this time.

LeMaistre says she had an abortion two months later in November 2016.
The alleged victim further accuses Metro of joking about the incident on his 2017 song “Rap Saved Me” with Offset and 21 Savage.

21 rapped on the track: “She took a Xanny, then she fainted / I’m from the gutter, ain’t no changing / From the gutter, rap saved me / She drive me crazy, have my baby.”
Metro has vehemently denied the allegations, with his attorney accusing LeMaistre of extortion.
In a statement, lawyer Lawrence Hinkle II said: “This is a pure shakedown. These are false accusations. Mr. Wayne refused to pay her months ago, and he refuses to pay her now. Mr. Wayne will defend himself in court.”
He added that Metro intends to pursue legal action against LeMaistre for the alleged false claims: “He will file a claim for malicious prosecution once he prevails.”

Metro Boomin was involved in a separate sex scandal earlier this year when he wasaccused of cheating on his longtime girlfriend Chelsea Cotton.
Cotton was also mentioned on Drake‘s diss song “Family Matters” where he accused her of having an affair behind Metro’s back.

Metro refuted the claim, writing on X (formerly Twitter): “the drum thing was laughable so I let it slide but what we not gon do is spread lies and have my loved ones involved. nobody ever hit my girl n-gga we grew up together [crying face emojis].”
