Metro Boomin opened up about the recent death of his mother.

The Atlanta producer took to his Instagram Stories on Wednesday to share how his mother’s passing has impacted his life. Back in June, Metro’s mother, Leslie Wayne, was reportedly killed in Atlanta by the producer’s stepfather, before he then committed suicide. 

“My Mom was and still is my best friend in the universe and anybody who really know me know I’ve always been a Momma’s boy my whole life,” he wrote. “This don’t even feel like real life no more; it’s like a nightmare that never ends, and starts over every time I wake up.”

Metro added, “This gotta be what hell feel like ‘cause it’s like my soul just always burning and everything around me constantly burning.”

It isn’t the first time Metro has publicly mourned his mother in light of her tragic death. In July, the producer shared a post on Instagram in which he urged people to “love and appreciate your parents while they still here.”

“Please love and appreciate your parents while they are here,” he wrote in a heartbreaking post. “I’d give anything in the world to speak to my Mom again. Crying everyday is the new normal.”
