"Retired from rap", the 24-year-old captioned an Instagram Story of himself eating potato chips on a private jet.
He also changed his Instagram bio to 'Retired record producer/DJ' and deleted all of his posts.
Metro Boomin' was behind some of the biggest hip-hop tracks of the past few years, including ILoveMakonnen's 'Tuesday', Travis Scott's '3500', Drake and Future's 'Jumpman', Kanye West's 'Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 1' and Migos' landmark 'Bad and Boujee'. Almost all of these went platinum.
"Metro Boomin had enough, n*gga" one Reddit user joked, in reference to the producer's famous "Metro Boomin want some more, n*gga" tag.
Others seemed skeptical about whether he was genuine about retiring so early on in his career.
"I give him two days," one said.
