Rapper Metro Marrs Speaks Out After Being Detained For Tossing $10K To Classmates During High School Graduation

Upcoming rapper Metro Marrs had a best and worst moment in one day. The artist, who is on the same label as hip hop group Migos, graduated from high school. As he walked across the stage at Langston Hughes High near Atlanta to claim his diploma, Metro became so excited and started the celebration early.

Metro pulled out a bundle of cash out of his pockets and begin making it rain. His fellow-classmates were all delighted by the gift, but unfortunately school officials didn’t share the same enthusiasm. In the video, several of them can be seen escorted Marrs off the stage.

Shortly after, the young star was placed under arrest. According to TMZ, he was detained for inciting a riot and disorderly conduct and then ticketed for the offense.

Metro tells the Shade Room, this was his way of giving back to his school as he felt some of his classmates may not even receive money for graduation. He also added that he waited until EVERY student walked and had their moment before throwing the money.

“I was creating a moment that would be memorable,” said Metro, who hadn’t seen his classmates since the pandemic begin. “I had to do that for the last time.

It’s absolutely ridiculous that the cops would arrest a young man for wanting to gift his classmates. It’s his money!

The “Bye Felicia” rapper reportedly gave away around $10,000.

Anyway, congratulations to Metro and the class of 2021!
