Method Man accused of assault in the gym – but it wasn’t a random punch

The New York Post says Method Man allegedly hit a man at Crunch Fitness who was bonding with his daughter. But what happened after the assault may surprise you.

Rapper and actor Method Man, best known as a member of the iconic hip-hop group Wu-Tang Clan, reportedly pumped more than weights at the gym recently.

Method Man is reportedly under investigation after an alleged assault at a Crunch Fitness gym in Staten Island, according to law enforcement sources.

The 53-year-old artist, whose real name is Clifford Smith, is accused of punching a 28-year-old man seven times in the face with a closed fist, according to an exclusive story in New York Post. Sources indicate that the incident stemmed from the man’s previous relationship with Smith’s daughter ten years ago. While the name of his daughter was not officially listed, Method Man has previously spoken about his only daughter Cheyenne, who also happens to be a rapper.

Method Man went on record about his deep love for his daughter at one New York City concert. “This is my baby baby,” he reportedly said on stage. “You know we prefer our daughters – we love our sons too! Something about daddy’s girl.”

According to The Post, a complaint was filed with the NYPD, although Smith has not been arrested. The alleged victim reported facial pain and dizziness but refused medical attention at the scene.

Method Man has been married for more than 20 years and shares three children with his wife Tamika.
