Metro Boomin was honored by his native city of St. Louis with a key to the city for his philanthropic work for single moms.
Leland Tyler Wayne, professionally known as Metro Boomin, is being honored by his hometown. The music producer was granted the key to the city of St. Louis, Missouri, on Dec. 14 for his philanthropic campaign, “Single Moms Are Superheroes,” for families in need.
The honor was bestowed upon the Grammy-nominated musician by the city’s mayor, Tishaura O. Jones, as she made the day formally named after Boomin, who dedicated the honor to his late mother. However, another surprise included a proclamation for the Leslie Joanne Single Mothers and Caregivers Appreciation Day to further honor the beloved mom of five, with Boomin and his four siblings in attendance for the heartfelt occasion.
The event was held in partnership with Rung For Women, a nonprofit dedicated to uplifting women in personal and professional development, and Amazon Access, a program for affordable shopping that also provided the guests with totes filled with gifts. As Boomin continues his effort on behalf of his mother by supporting women with similar plights, his work for the betterment of St. Louis, alongside his artistic accomplishments, will all be part of his growing legacy.
