Method Man has been accused of putting his hands on his daughter’s ex-boyfriend in a gym in New York.
The Wu-Tang Clan rapper was reportedly at a Crunch Fitness in Staten Island, and the alleged victim claims he was punched in the face seven times.
According to reports, the man felt dizzy and pain in his face after the alleged attack but refused any medical attention. Method Man was detained, and a police report was filed, but he was not arrested and was free to go home.
“Mr. Smith categorically denies the allegations as reported and has not been the subject of an arrest by any law enforcement agency,” his attorney told Billboard in a statement.
Sources say that Meth’s daughter Cheyenne dated the man over a year ago, but the cause of Meth’s alleged assault has not been revealed.
Method Man is a member of the East Coast hip-hop collective Wu-Tang Clan and is half of the hip-hop duo Method Man & Redman. In 1996, Method Man won a Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group for “I’ll Be There for You/You’re All I Need to Get By,” featuring R&B singer Mary J. Blige, with whom he later starred in Power Book II: Ghost, a spin-off of Power.
