On January 17, 2025By Littum

Method Man has been accused of assaulting a fellow gymnast at Crunch Fitness in Staten Island. The alleged victim is someone with whom he has a history.

Local law enforcement sources broke the news New York Post on Thursday (Jan. 16), the same day the altercation happened. The Wu-Tang Clan Member allegedly punched a man in the face seven times “with a closed fist.” His alleged victim is a man who allegedly had a relationship with his daughter over ten years ago.

The alleged victim, 28, complained of facial pain and dizziness but refused medical attention while on the gym’s grounds. Meth was reportedly not arrested, but a report has been filed New York Police.

Last year, Method Man opened up about his struggles with depression. “It never really goes away,” he further told Fat Joe Fat Joe Talks. “You have, like I said, I have struggles with it and stuff.” He emphasized the importance of checking in with loved ones based on his own experiences, but also to gain awareness of what people may not share.

“The point I’m trying to make is every now and then when you get a thought like, ‘Damn, I wonder what this person is doing,’ act on it,” he added. “Call them, see how they’re doing, or find a way to connect with them. It never hurts. You have no idea how much it could mean to them.”

The “Bring The Pain” rapper also revealed he was working on a memoir, which will potentially be named after the 1994 song. “It might be (titled), ‘Bring The Pain,’ because there’s a lot of it,” he said. Watch an excerpt of his conversation with Fat Joe about mental health and more below.
