Method Man was arrested for assault at a Crunch Fitness gym on Staten Island, New York.

A source told The New York Post that the Wu-Tang Clan rapper– whose birth name is Clifford Smith, Jr. — reportedly punched a man in the face seven times “with a closed fist.” The alleged incident was “the result of a relationship the alleged 28-year-old victim had with [Method Man’s] daughter more than a decade ago.”

We’ll update with more information as it’s made available.

Method Man’s most recent album, Meth Lab Season 3: The Rehab, came out in 2023. He was also a series regular in Power Book II: Ghost and The Wire, and among his dozens of other roles over the years. When asked by Vanity Fair last year if acting is his main priority now, Method Man replied, “Absolutely. I only rhyme because I want to now, not because I have to.”

He continued, “When you’re an entertainer, performing a record onstage, you’re a performer. And a lot of my colleagues took time out to learn the craft and are doing well in the industry. That’s a testament to everyone else who’s in our genre or from our era; it’s never over. I took acting classes with Ivana Chubbuck, and if you put your mind to it and work really hard, you can be in the same position.”
