A 38-year-old woman living in California filed a lawsuit against Grammy-nominated hip-hop producer Metro Boomin on Tuesday, accusing him of raping her in 2016 while she was unconscious an assault that allegedly was then recounted in one of his songs, her attorneys said.

Attorneys for Vanessa LeMaistre say Leland Metro Boomin Wayne raped her after gaining her trust under the guise of friendship following the death of her 9-month-old child. She became pregnant from the rape and, because of the trauma of the rape and her ongoing grief, terminated the pregnancy, says the lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court.

Waynes lawyer Lawrence Hinkle II called the lawsuit a pure shakedown in a statement shared with HuffPost on Wednesday.

Mr. Wayne refused to pay her months ago, and he refuses to pay her now, the statement said. Mr. Wayne will defend himself in court. He will file a claim for malicious prosecution once he prevails.

LeMaistres attorney responded to Hinkles comments in a statement given to HuffPost, saying, Making defamatory remarks is not going to help Metro Boomins cause and we look forward to proving Ms. LeMaistres claims in court and, ultimately, before a jury.
