Metro Boomin was the guest of highest honor in his St. Louis hometown on Thursday … presented with a Key to the City for his years of giving back to single mothers.
TMZ Hip Hop got pics of Mayor Tishaura O. Jones bestowing the key to Metro on Thursday inside City Hall, surrounded by dozens of St. Louis community figures, elected officials and his 4 siblings.
This year marks Metro’s 7th “Single Moms Are The Real Superheroes” campaign and we’re told the annual event is now being reimagined as “Leslie Joanne Single Mothers And Caregivers Appreciate Day” to honor his late mother, who died in 2022.
Little did he know, the city also had a gift for him — December 14 will officially be “Leland ‘Metro Boomin’ Wayne Day” going forward.
The Diamond-selling producer teamed up with Amazon Access and Rung for Women for this year’s function … set up to assist single mothers with career coaching, skills training, and additional needed resources.
It was an emotional day, capping off Metro’s amazing year … he helmed the “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” soundtrack, partnered with the St. Louis Cardinals and earned a Producer of the Year Grammy nomination.
They don’t give out keys to the city that often … but they clearly trust Young Metro to continue doing good with it.
