Hip-hop producer extraordinaire Metro Boomin had an unexpected and harrowing experience in Miami waters when a luxury yacht he reportedly rented went up in flames, creating a dramatic scene early Sunday morning.
The fiery incident occurred around 3:30 AM as the 95-foot vessel docked near a strip club, according to Miami-Dade Fire Rescue. The massive blaze ignited shortly after the yacht arrived, with its size and fuel load complicating efforts to contain the fire.
Local reports from Local10 suggest that Metro Boomin had rented the lavish yacht, which was carrying 10 guests—presumably including the producer—and five crew members at the time. All passengers were forced to evacuate as flames engulfed the vessel.
Thankfully, no injuries were reported during the chaotic escape, but the spectacle left witnesses in shock. Firefighters worked tirelessly to extinguish the flames, and an investigation is underway to determine the cause of the blaze.
Efforts to contact Metro Boomin’s team for a statement have not yet been successful.
This unexpected incident caps off a wild night for the chart-topping producer, who is known for creating hits with some of the biggest names in hip-hop. While Metro Boomin is used to setting the music world ablaze, this fire was definitely not part of the plan!
