Metro Boomin Headed To Trial In R@pe Lawsuit After Failed Settlement Talks

Metro Boomin is headed to trial over a r@pe lawsuit.

According to court filings obtained by Billboard, the trial is scheduled to begin on September 23, 2025, following “unsuccessful” settlement talks.

If you recall, Vanessa LeMaistre filed a lawsuit in 2024 claiming the music producer a$$aulted and impregnated her in 2016 after she blacked out from taking Xanax and drinking alcohol during a studio session.

Metro has denied the allegations and called the case a “pure shakedown.” His lawyer, Lawrence Hinkle, said in October 2024, “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 will file a claim for malicious prosecution once he prevails.”

LeMaistre’s attorney, Michael Willemin, said Tuesday (Aug. 12), “We and Ms. LeMaistre have pushed the case forward aggressively, and, because of that, we are headed towards trial on September 23, 2025. We look forward to holding Mr. Wayne accountable in front of a jury of his peers.”
