Metro Boomin's Rented Yacht Catches Fire and Sinks in Miami
The 95-foot luxury vessel went up in flames shortly after docking outside a Miami strip club; all passengers and crew were safely evacuated.
- A yacht rented by hip-hop producer Metro Boomin caught fire early Sunday morning outside the Booby Trap on the River, a popular Miami strip club.
- The fire broke out roughly 30 minutes after the yacht docked around 3 a.m., prompting an immediate evacuation of 10 passengers and 5 crew members.
- Miami-Dade Fire Rescue deployed over 30 units, including fireboats, to combat the flames, which were intensified by the vessel's size and fuel load.
- The yacht ultimately sank into the Miami River after the fire was extinguished; no injuries were reported, and specialized equipment was used to manage fuel runoff.
- Authorities have launched an investigation into the cause of the fire, but no public statement has been made by Metro Boomin as of now.
