According to Local 10, music isn’t the only thing heated up in Metro Boomin’s life. Yesterday (January 19), the outlet claimed a yacht supposed rented to Metro Boomin caught fire while docked at a strip club near the Miami International Airport.

Hot on the heels of Young Thug’s guest verse on Lil Baby’s WHAM — the first fans have heard of him since being released from prison in October 2024 — anticipation for a new album is arguably at an all-time high.

Metro Boomin sidestepped reports of his rented yacht fire by announcing a new album with Young Thug, sparking mixed reactions from fans.

Metro Boomin's maritime incident near Miami sparks the reveal of his upcoming album with Young Thug, their decade-long collaboration.

Lil Baby isn’t letting up. The Atlanta rapper recently dropped off the deluxe version of his fourth solo album WHAM and is planning on releasing another project entitled Dominique some time in February. He’s also mentioned working on a tape with Future, but made sure to mention Young Thug may be involved in what they had planned.
