Mega hip-hop producer Metro Boomin launched a grant program for single mother non-profit organizations while out on tour with Future. Metro Boomin, born Leland Tyler Wayne has been dedicated to celebrating single mothers and their children prior to suddenly losing his mother two years ago, whom he commemorated as his “best friend in the universe” on his Instagram in 2022.
Five years before her passing, he launched his “Single Moms Are Superheroes” initiative. But after he experienced tragedy, the cause became even more personal.
Wayne decided to extend his initiative when he launched a continuation of his program to celebrate single mothers named after his mom Leslie Joanne Wayne. Now, “Leslie Joanne Single Moms Are Superheroes” has kicked off a national grant program, in conjunction with Metro Boomin and Future’s North American “We Trust You” tour. The multi-city grant-giving initiative will provide $20,000 in grants and show tickets to non-profit organizations supporting single mothers in each city on the tour.
“As soon as I got the routing for the tour, I knew that I had to give back and share blessings with the cities and communities who are coming out and sharing blessings with me,” the producer said.
The charity program’s first three stops were at Metro Boomin and Future’s concerts in Kansas City, St. Paul and Detroit, where grants were given to the Kansas City non-profit Essential Families, which provides development services for single mothers and families in need; the St. Paul organization Jeremiah Program, which provides assistance to single mothers and children facing poverty; and the Detroit non-profit Alternatives for Girls, which helps young girls and women experiencing homelessness.
The program will continue through the month of August and into September at each stop on the tour. #metroboomin #future
