Method Man was reportedly involved in an altercation in a New York gym where he allegedly punched a man seven times in the face.
Police Called for Method Man Fight
On Thursday (Jan. 16), the New York Post broke the news that Tical was involved in a fight at a Crunch Fitness gym in his hometown of Staten Island, N.Y. According to the publication, the Wu-Tang Clan member was seen punching a 28-year-old man seven times in the face. The victim is reportedly a former boyfriend of Meth’s daughter.
Police were called to the scene and the man reported pain in his face and feeling dizzy. However, he turned down medical assistance. Meth was not arrested for the fight, but a complaint was filed regarding the incident. It is unclear what exactly prompted the situation.
Method Man’s daughter, Cheyenne, a.k.a. Chey, is a budding hip-hop artist who broke out into the game last year. She released the singles “Hair & Nails” and “Boujee & Ghetto” last February followed by the track “Walk” last September.
The fight seems out of character for the rapper, who is currently up for a NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Supporting Role in a Drama Series for his role in Power Book II: Ghost, which wrapped back in August.
While there is no report of the incident caught on surveillance video, establishments like a gym are known to be equipped with camera systems. There’s a possibility video footage could leak showing the assault.
XXL has reached out to the New York City Police Department and Method Man for comment.
