Method Man was allegedly involved in an assault at a Crunch Fitness gym on Staten Island on Thursday, according to the New York Post. Citing law enforcement sources, the outlet says the legendary Wu-Tang Clan rapper allegedly punched a man in the face seven times “with a closed fist." Method Man was reportedly upset about a relationship the alleged 28-year-old victim had with his daughter over a decade ago.
The man refused medical attention but told the police his face was in pain and he was feeling dizzy. He did, however, file a complaint with the NYPD, but Method Man has not been placed under arrest. As of Thursday afternoon, the rapper has yet to address the allegations publically.
Method Man has three children with his wife, Tamika Smith: Shakuan, Raekwon, and Cheyenne. He's often spoken about the importance his family plays in his life. Appearing on The Come Up Show in April 2011, he explained that he felt compelled to clean up his public image after their birth. "When I first out, I was young. We [were] doing our thing," he said at the time, as caught by People. "Now, I have to use more discretion because of my kids. This is not for me, everything I do is for them."
Cheyenne has been working on a hip-hop career of her own in recent years. Method Man brought her on stage at the 4/20 Bud Drop concert in New York City, last April. “This is my baby,” he told the crowd during the show. “You know we prefer our daughters — we love our sons too! Something about daddy’s girl.”

Brad Paisley has called Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding “one of the least pretentious weddings he’s ever seen”.
The country star attended the ceremony alongside his actress wife, Kimberly Williams-Paisley. They joined around 1,000 guests at New York City’s Madison Square Garden earlier this month as the global pop icon married the American football star.
Although the celebration attracted enormous attention and involved tight security and a stunning makeover of the famous arena, Paisley said the occasion never came across as excessive.
“Ironically, (it) was one of the least pretentious weddings that I've ever seen or ever will see,” Paisley told The Associated Press during an interview. “It meant a lot to be (invited). It was, kind of, a big thank you from her to invite us.”
Paisley, who chose Swift as an opening performer for his tour when she was a teenager in 2007, said he was delighted to be included in what many considered the biggest celebrity wedding of the year.
“They were very clear with the invite, and I took this personally when I got the invite, because in the invite, it said, ‘If you're getting this, you mean a lot to us,’” he revealed.
The musician also explained that guests were not told the wedding’s exact location until the date drew nearer.
“It was really fun to watch the cat and mouse game of, like, ‘We can tell you roughly where it's going to be, we're not gonna say what building... and here's the date. If you're in, we'll tell you more,’” he continued. “I went to my wife, I said, ‘Want to go?’ and she said, ‘Absolutely, we gotta be there!’ So, we did it, it was RSVP yes.”
Other famous attendees included Brad Pitt, Gigi Hadid, Bradley Cooper, Ed Sheeran, Sabrina Carpenter, Hugh Grant, Haim and Tom Hanks.
