Before releasing “Not All Heroes Wear Capes,” 2018’s #1 Billboard chart-topper from his debut studio album, Metro Boomin was a successful hip-hop artist.

Leland Tyler Wayne, a Missouri native who is now 28 years old, began creating beats in high school and connected with hip-hop artists on Twitter. He rose to fɑme eight years ago after internet encounters with Future and Gucci Mane.

Since then, Metro has written songs for Lana Del Rey, Drake, Nicki Minaj, and Kanye West. His career milestones include Post Malone’s “Congratulations,” which was certified Diamond at 10x platinum, and Migos’ “Bad and Boujee,”

which was certified 4x platinum and peaked at #1 on the Billboard Һоt 100. A 2020 collaboration with 21 Svge, “Svge Mode II,” peaked at number one on the Billboard 200.

After his big break, the prolific hitmaker spent $4.9 miℓℓio𝚗 on an odd mansion. The flat-roofed, slightly squat house was built on spec by a local contractor and his wife in the guard-gated Bell Canyon neighborhood in the outermost regions of the San Fernando Valley.

With “spectacular country and city views,” the estate is situated on more than an acre of hillside land, well above the street. To reach the large motorcourt, which is in front of a four-car garage with tandem parking, a long concrete road curves up and around.

The boxy house is surrounded by the rough slopes of Bell Canyon. There are five bedrooms, six full bathrooms, and a powder room in the 6,200-square-foot home.

Interiors were supposed to be open and plain. Instead, vast views and glass walls rule, with white ceilings and subdued oak flooring throughout.
