Teen rapper Metro Marrs caused quite the scene at his high school graduation, making it rain thousands of dollars on his giddy classmates before being detained by police.

Last week, the 18-year-old graduated from Langston Hughes High School in Atlanta and made sure that his commencement ceremony would be one to remember. Laced with large wads of cash under his academic regalia, Metro waited before each student had walked and then joyfully jettisoned the bills under his garments onto the event stage, TMZ reports.

While the crowd seemed to enjoy the act and the rapper saw it as an opportunity to give back to his classmates, police intervened and escorted him away.

The recent grad was apprehended by authorities for inciting a riot and disorderly conduct. He was also issued a ticket for the offense according to The Shade Room, who spoke with the rapper. 

After being detained, the rapper was let go several hours later. There has been no official word as to whether he’s facing any charges related to the incident.

Metro, the youngest signed artist of the music collective Quality Control, revealed that he hadn’t seen his fellow senior friends in-person all year as a result of the pandemic. He wanted to go out with a bang.

“I was creating a moment that would be memorable,” Metro, who saw the act as benevolent gesture, said. “I had to do that for the last time. Everybody was lit! We graduating high school!”

As an artist, Metro Marrs’ brand originated in the idea of him doing music while being a student. He said it meant a lot to him to give back to the students and community that helped mold his music career.

According to The Shade Room, the “Bye Felicia” rapper attended the same high school where other rising Atlanta artists attended including Summer Walker, Gunna, and Playboi Carti.

Despite some criticism for the graduation stunt, Metro said the school has been very supportive of his success and hasn’t penalized him for the incident.

“They root for me, they’re on my side,” Metro said. “They’ve seen me develop (as an artist) while I was in school. I’ve been doing music since 9th grade.”

Before he signed with QC at 17, Metro’s parents gave him an ultimatum that he could only pursue his rap career if he finished his academic commitments and graduated high school.

In turning his tassel, the recent grad said he’s ready to fully commit to music and has a new project dropping in June. Metro also indicated that he’s developing a music visual for his popular track, “Live It Up."
