Massive yacht rented by legendary hip-hop producer bursts into flames outside popular Miami strip club

A massive yacht allegedly rented out by legendary hip-hop producer Metro Boomin burst into flames while docked outside one of Miami’s most popular strip clubs early Sunday morning, according to reports.

The fire broke out on the 95-foot-long vessel outside Booby Trap On The River only about 30 minutes after it docked at the adult entertainment club at around 3 a.m., Local10 reported.

Workers at the club immediately sprung into action to help evacuate about 10 people onboard the boat, including Metro Boomin and five crew members, according to the director of security at the Booby Trap on the River, Michael Marhefka.

“The boat pulled up and they were on the boat maybe 30 minutes at the dock and we noticed what sounded like fire alarms going off,” Marhefka told the local outlet.

“When we looked at the boat we did see some smoke inside the boat. We made the determination to evacuate the boat immediately.”

After everyone was safely removed from the boat, the flames continued to grow, engulfing the vessel and prompting a massive response from Miami-Dade Fire Rescue at around 4 a.m.

Fire officials said more than 30 units — some responding from land and others in fire rescue boats — were called to the scene to help extinguish the growing inferno, according to NBC 6.

The blaze, which officials said was challenging to put out because of the yacht’s size and fuel load, became so large that it drew a large crowd of onlookers in awe of the flames.

An unnamed witness at the scene told NBC 6 that the fire was “unexpected” and that she had never seen “anything like this.”

Another said the fire “scared” her and others because of its size.

The yacht ultimately sank into the Miami River. No injuries were reported, according to officials.

Miami-Dade Fire Rescue said they tried to limit the fuel runoff with “specialized oil spill response equipment that entails an oil-absorbent boom” after the fire was extinguished, according to the Miami Herald.

“This strong mesh-like sleeve encases a highly absorbent material that soaks up oil and surface sheen,” MDFR spokesperson Nicholas DiGiacomo told the outlet.

An investigation has been launched to determine what caused the blaze.

Metro Boomin, who has collaborated with artists such as The Weekend, Young Thug, Future, and Travis Scott, has not released a public statement about the incident.
