Method Man, 53, whose real name is Clifford Smith, allegedly punched a man in the face a total of seven times “with a closed fist” sources told the outlet.
The Post stated that the alleged assault stemmed from a relationship the alleged 28-year-old victim had with Method Man’s daughter from over a decade ago. The reported victim claimed that he was experiencing pain to his face and felt dizzy, but declined medical attention at the scene.
Furthermore, sources shared that though a complaint report was filed with the New York Police Department, Method Man was not arrested.
The emcee’s career spans decades as both a fixture in hip-hop as well as a film star. Method Man initially rose to fame with Wu-Tang Clan’s 1993 debut album, “Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers).” He would go on to team up with Redman to form hip-hop duo Method Man & Redman.
The heart throb is also a record producer and actor. He has appeared in “Power Book II: Ghost,” “Garden State” and “Keanu.” He shares three children with his wife, Tamika: Shakuan, Raekwon and Cheyenne.
“I believe it’s so important for kids to have both a male and female presence in the home,” Method Man has said according to PEOPLE.
“My kids have always seen their mother and father together. That’s why my 26-year-old [son Shakuan] is already married—because he grew up seeing a strong, loving relationship between his parents. He was raised in light and love, and that’s incredibly important.”
