Method Man, the legendary rapper and hood heartthrob we all know and love, is in the news again—but this time, it’s not for his music, good looks, or acting. Reports say the Wu-Tang OG may have gotten into an altercation while allegedly defending his daughter Cheyenne.
According to reports, Method Man is accused of punching a man multiple times during an incident at a Staten Island Crunch Fitness gym. The alleged victim, Patrick Sokoya, claims the rapper landed seven punches “with a closed fist,” leaving him dizzy.
However, Patrick reportedly refused medical attention at the scene.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. A source close to the situation told The New York Post that this altercation could be personal. Patrick is reportedly the ex-boyfriend of Method Man’s daughter, Cheyenne. The two were together almost a decade ago.
So, naturally, folks are wondering if this fight is rooted in some old drama tied to their past relationship.
Despite a complaint being filed with the NYPD, no formal charges were placed. A rep for Method Man recently spoke with Billboard and denied the allegations. They stated: “Mr. Smith categorically denies the allegations as reported and has not been the subject of an arrest by any law enforcement agency.”
As the news spreads, fans have flooded social media with their reactions. Some are praising Method Man for allegedly standing up for his daughter, while others are waiting for more details to emerge. Naturally, social media is abuzz with memes, opinions, and speculation about what went down at Crunch Fitness that day.
Known for his calm demeanor, charm, and undeniable talent, these allegations come as a surprise to some. But even with this controversy, it’s hard to deny that Method Man remains one who makes the girls melt. His sex appeal only seems to get better with time, and his looks are as smooth as his rap lyrics.
So while we wait for more details to surface, one thing’s for sure: Method Man is not one to play with.
