A very tragic story has been confirmed about the mother of super producer Metro Boomin, who was shot and killed by her husband on Friday night before turning the gun on himself and ending his own life.
Leslie Joanne Wayne, Metro’s mom, was killed in an apparent murder-suicide by her husband(not Metro’s father), which Metro did not learn about until his mother’s body was discovered by police outside of the Atlanta area, according to law enforcement sources.
Reps for the Metro confirmed Wayne’s death to TMZ and shared that the family is requesting privacy during this difficult time. An autopsy is currently underway to determine Ms. Wayne’s cause of death.
Ms. Wayne raised Boomin and his three siblings in St. Louis and encouraged him to pursue his passion through adolescence and early adulthood. She’d even drive him from STL to Atlanta so he could collaborate with artists he was connecting with, all in hopes of getting his career off the ground.
For those who don’t know Metro has produced hits for some of the biggest artists in Hip Hop including Future, Young Thug, Gucci Mane, Migos, Travis Scott, Drake, Kanye West and 21 Savage.
Reports from Powder Springs, Georgia has confirmed that Webbie’s DJ killed his wife and himself, but not before sharing what seemed like a long suicide note detailing his never-ending issues working with the Louisiana rapper.
On Sunday (June 9), two bodies were discovered by police after shots were reported in the neighborhood. The information about who the victims were was not immediately released, however, on June 13, Powder Springs Police Department gave a statement about the identities of the deceased.
“I can confirm that Notorius Brown died from self-inflicted gunshot wounds after killing Kalisha Seddens-Dunn,” confirmed Captain J.W. Holcombe. “I am being told that he went by that name [T Gutta] when performing.”
Brown, who went by the name “DJ T Gutta”, made a lengthy, but emotional post on Facebook with his gripes about working with Webby, which was posted just hours before the police discovered the bodies of Brown and Dunn.
“Dawg DJin for Webbie is a living hell!” he wrote. “1st That n-gga don’t want to pay. Then that n-gga don’t want to see nobody around him shine! Like nobody not even his own brother.. Why y’all think everybody left from around him? I was only supposed to be his tour DJ but i had to be a driver, a dr, a security, a PR, a babysitter, booking Agent, a referee, a counselor, a road manger, and a list of other things.”
“But yet this n-gga didn’t appreciate none of it. I did all that shit with a smile on my face in front of thousands every night, but i was dying inside. All the times he had seizures on the planes, on stages in the hotels, who y’all think was there? Me! Becuz his family ain’t wanna deal with him, or nobody on our team wanted to deal with him but me! Our driver quit cuz he ain’t wanna pay him. Then every time we would try to make our money in other ways he always found a way to stop that too.”
“So it’s like he don’t wanna pay but don’t want us eating nowhere else. Then the n-gga wanna get mad & in his feelings when Boosie need us to help him. The n-gga a straight hater! I can’t remember how many times he’s told me he don’t want nobody blowing up off his name! That’s why he don’t do features! & he don’t like taking pictures with other artist or fans. N-gga think they tryna get shine off him.”
He added, “It was days i straight dreaded going on tour with him. The n-gga complains about everything! Being around him is like having to take care of my kids! We had to remind him everyday to take his medicine, or to not do some stupid shit. The n-gga would do some stupid kiddie shit & be like ‘Gutta record me doing this’ And the shit will never get better becuz his Brother Derrick (SupaUnit) just makes excuses for him even tho he be mad he don’t pay him either.”
“The shit on the road was so bad our long time manager had a stroke an all, then the producer for Savage Life 6 had a brain aneurysm or something in that nature becuz he was stressed an all, Webbie wanted him to produce the whole album but not pay & didn’t wanna do the split sheets or nothing. N-gga say ‘it’s my songs i should get all the money. And yes he has a health issue that causes him to have seizures but the get 10x worse when he snort dat dope! He gotta be the worse artist to dj for. Yes i DJ’d for him for 10 yrs but i was always hoping it would get better. Or another major artist would recognize my talent. But he blocked everything.”
“I never asked dude for shit. I came around with my own everything! That Supa Unit shit is the biggest piece of bullshit. That shit is only designed so Derrick can get paid while everybody else do the work! He promises to help artist but never do. It was some good times but it was more bad times than anything. I never in my life met somebody that complained more than him! The nigga straight up miserable.”

On the 23rd day of 2023, the United States has already encountered at least 36 mass shootings, CNN reports via Gun Violence Archive. The latest of these tragedies unfolded in Monterey Park, California. Since this weekend, 11 victims have now tragically lost their lives at the hands of a 72-year-old gunman.
On Saturday (January 21) evening, Huu Can Tran opened fire at a local dance studio. At the time, the Asian American community was celebrating Lunar New Year. The venue was full of positive energy and excitement. Unfortunately, the cheer didn’t last long as the attack began shortly after 10 PM that night.

Officers responded to the scene around 10:22 PM where they witnessed people “pouring out of the location, screaming.” A group of people are said to have been wrestling with the elderly Asian male to get his weapon. 10 victims were pronounced dead at the scene. At least 10 others were “transported to numerous local hospitals and are listed in various conditions from stable to critical,” LAPD County Sheriff Captain Andrew Meyer told the media.
The coroner has been hard at work identifying those left dead after the senseless violence. Thus far, two women in their 60s – My Nhan and Lilan Li – are known to have died. The others who died at the studio over the weekend consist of three women and five men. None of them were younger than 50.
On Monday (January 23), one of those who was in the hospital for emergency care lost their life. “Our heroic staff at LAC+USC Medical Center have worked tirelessly to care for the four victims entrusted to our care,” the hospital shared in a statement.
“Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, we are saddened to share that one of the victims has succumbed to their extensive injuries. We want to express our deepest sympathies to their families and loved ones.”
Other recent updates from CNN discuss the ongoing police investigation. Their primary focus at this time is finding a possible motive for the crime by searching Tran’s house. On Sunday morning, officers were trailing the supposed gunman after the shooting. As they exited the patrol car to approach his van, they heard a gunshot from inside.
When SWAT teams arrived on site, they found the killer dead after taking his own life. Upon searching the vehicle, authorities uncovered “several pieces of evidence” linking him to the dance studio he targeted, as well as a handgun.
Tran was apparently a regular patron of the site where he went through with his deadly antics. In fact, his ex-wife says they met there about two decades ago while he was giving informal lessons. At the time, he offered her free classes, and they married soon after.
A vigil for the victims will happen on Tuesday (January 24) at 5:30 PM.

Elsewhere in the world of crime, social media users have been fascinated by the University of Idaho stabbings and the alleged attacker, Bryan Kohberger. As we wait for the trial to unfold in the summer, it was revealed earlier this month that the 28-year-old allegedly posted menacing raps on a SoundCloud page.
