Metro Boomin has revealed that he’s currently working on Young Thug‘s album — which will be the rapper’s first since being released from jail in November after spending more than 900 days in custody.
The St. Louis producer made the revelation on his Instagram Story while also seemingly addressing the alleged news that his rental yacht caught on fire in Miami over the weekend. “Don’t believe everything you see online,” he wrote. “Clout got the world in a chokehold. Back to working on [Young Thug’s] album.”
According to Miami news outlet Local 10, “a massive yacht burst into flames while it was docked behind the Booby Trap on the River strip club.” Michael Marhefka, the director of security at the club claimed the 95-foot yacht was connected to Metro.

“Around 3 o’clock the boat arrived, it was Metro Boomin,” he said. “The boat pulled up and they were on the boat maybe 30 minutes at the dock and we noticed what sounded like fire alarms going off. When we looked at the boat, we did see some smoke inside the boat. We made the determination to evacuate the boat immediately.”
Thug has been keeping himself busy since coming home. The Atlanta rapper has reportedly been in the studio with Lil Baby and Future, and the three of them are supposedly working on a joint project together. “There probably won’t be a me and Future tape anymore because Thug is back. So, whatever it would be, it’ll be all three of us,” he told Complex referring to the news that he and Future were working on something together.
