“My Mom was and still is my best friend in the universe and anybody who really know me know I’ve always been a Momma’s boy my whole life,” he wrote, according to Complex. “This don’t even feel like real life no more; it’s like a nightmare that never ends, and starts over every time I wake up.”

Adding, “This gotta be what hell feel like ‘cause it’s like my soul just always burning and everything around me constantly burning.”

Wayne, who raised Metro Boomin and his three siblings in St. Louis, noticed his musical talents early and supported his goals.
