Metro Boomin has gone viral for sniffing a woman’s fingers — and is not happy about it.
In a video of him preparing food at a cook out, a woman goes up to the producer and appears to ask him to sniff her middle and index fingers, which he does.

While Metro may not be happy about the crude footage, he does still have reason to celebrate after his Heroes & Villains album surpassed 50 Cent’s seminal debut Get Rich or Die Tryin’ for streams on Spotify.
Metro’s album, which dropped in late 2022, has accrued 4,379,300,317 streams on the platform, while 50’s classic trails with 4,367,041,925.

The next Hip Hop album on the list above Metro’s is Dr. Dre’s classic 2001, with the super producer having already passed Kanye West’s iconic My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and Drake’s third album Nothing Was the Same.
Drizzy still has three albums with more streams than Heroes & Villains with More Life, Views and Scorpion, while Kanye’s The Life of Pablo also has more listens than the Grammy-nominated project.
Kendrick Lamar’s DAMN. and Travis Scott’s Astroworld are also above Heroes & Villains in the rankings.
Metro Boomin’s streaming success has also led to other artists getting a windfall.

Erick Sermon recently revealed he makes almost $750,000 per year from Metro’s hit single “Creepin'” with 21 Savage and The Weeknd.
The track famously samples Mario’s 2004 hit “I Don’t Wanna Know,” which itself prominently samples EPMD‘s “You’re a Customer,” meaning Sermon receives significant royalty cheques several times a year.
“Creepin'” received over 1.2 billion streams in 2023, making it the 12th most streamed song that year.
