AceShowbiz - Metro Boomin couldn't help but get emotional on his mom's first death anniversary. The "Creepin' " artist remembered his "best mother" Leslie Joanne Wayne by writing a heartbreaking tribute on social media.
Sharing old photos of him and his mom on Instagram, the 29-year-old wrote, "I can't believe today makes 1 year since we have lost You my Love. You were the best Mother and friend that anyone could possibly even pray for." He added, "You dedicated every second and every ounce of your being to the betterment of your 5 children and our family as a whole."
"Our time was cut short but I'm still so grateful for all that you have taught me and the values, lessons, and morals You have instilled in each of us," the record producer further shared. "You were loved by so many people because you welcomed so many different types of people and were just as pure to each and every one of them, making them all feel that they had a Mom or Sister in You as well. This s**t hurts so much having to live everyday knowing I won't hear your voice or see your face again."
"But based on everything you taught me, I'm confident and know that this new reality and experience will 100% no doubt continue to shape me into a better man than I would have ever been able to become with You down here in the physical form," he went on noting. "You've always said that I'm a hero to not only my younger brothers and sisters but to millions of others out there from afar. So I just look at this as part of my origin story and continue to move forward with the mission as I know You would want me to."
Metro continued expressing his grief by writing, "Every time someone tells me that my will to keep going and striving in the midst of such a tragedy inspires them to keep going despite their trials, it reminds me that I'm on the right path and your passing wasn't for nothing. It hurts that I don't get your calls and texts and screenshots every time I achieve something new anymore but I''m grateful to have the many many manyyyyy ones from You already on the 10+ year journey leading up to now." He then concluded, "I Love You Mom with all my being and can't wait to see You again because I know I will!!"
News about Leslie's death made headlines in June last year. At the time, TMZ reported that she was discovered just outside of the Atlanta area after she was murdered by her spouse, not Metro's father. Leslie's husband allegedly committed suicide afterward.
