Method Man Reportedly Denies Beating Up His Daughter's Ex-Boyfriend

Hip-hop legend Clifford Smith Jr., better known as Method Man, has found himself at the center of controversy following an alleged altercation at a Staten Island gym. The Wu-Tang Clan icon is accused of assaulting a man who reportedly dated his daughter more than a decade ago. The incident, which took place at a Crunch Fitness location, has sparked significant public interest and debate. The alleged assault occurred when Method Man encountered 28-year-old Patrick Sokoya at the gym. Witnesses claim that the rapper struck Sokoya in the face seven times with a closed fist. Sokoya reported experiencing facial pain and dizziness but declined medical attention at the scene. A source close to the matter revealed that Sokoya previously had a relationship with Method Man’s daughter, Cheyenne, which ended over ten years ago. The details of their encounter at the gym, as well as what led to the physical confrontation, remain unclear. Sokoya filed a complaint with the New York Police Department, Method Man has not been arrested. Law enforcement sources confirm they are investigating the matter, but no charges have been brought against the rapper at this time. A representative for Method Man has denied the allegations, stating, “Mr. Smith has not been arrested or detained by any law enforcement agency. These claims are false and defamatory.” The statement further emphasized that the allegations do not align with the artist’s character or behavior.
