Fans are buzzing about allegations that Wu-Tang Clan legend Method Man, whose real name is Clifford Smith, confronted and allegedly punched his daughter’s ex-boyfriend, Patrick Sokoya, at a Crunch Fitness gym in Staten Island. Sokoya, who dated Method Man’s daughter Cheyenne over a decade ago, reportedly declined medical attention, and no arrests were made.
While Method Man’s representative categorically denied the allegations, his protective nature has been a recurring theme, as seen in a 2006 Rolling Stone interview where he criticized Wendy Williams for discussing his wife’s cancer battle.
Social media has turned the story into a mix of support, humor, and comparisons to superheroes like Batman.

00:00Was it a protective father going too far, or a gym encounter gone wrong?
00:04Fans are sharing their thoughts over the alleged altercation involving Method Man and his daughter's
00:10ex.
00:11According to a report published by the New York Post, the Wu-Tang Clan icon was accused
00:16of assaulting the ex-boyfriend of the rapper's daughter at a Crunch Fitness location in Staten
00:21Island.
00:22The report states the alleged incident involves 28-year-old Patrick Sequoia, who reportedly
00:27dated Method Man's daughter, Cheyenne Smith, over a decade ago.
00:31Sources claim Method Man, whose legal name is Clifford Smith, confronted Sequoia and
00:37punched him seven times in the face.
00:39The article also states while Sequoia felt dizzy, he declined medical attention, and
00:44a complaint report was filed with the NYPD.
00:46But Smith was not arrested.
00:49One fan on ex-formerly Twitter wrote,
00:51Whenever he said that his daughter's ex did, the ex did it.
00:55Case closed.
00:56A representative for Method Man was quick to shut down the allegations, stating,
01:00Mr. Smith categorically denies the allegations as reported and has not been the subject of
01:05an arrest by any law enforcement agency.
01:08Despite the accusation, the 53-year-old rapper remained silent on social media.
01:13Although we may not know exactly why Smith allegedly assaulted his daughter's ex, the
01:17father of three has been protective of his family in the past.
01:22In a 2006 interview with Rolling Stone, Smith expressed his displeasure with Wendy Williams
01:27for making light of his wife's battle with breast cancer on air.
01:31During the interview, the rapper shared how deeply personal and painful that experience
01:35was, sharing that he hoped Williams was, quote,
01:38aware of exactly what it felt like to be sitting in that hospital room, watching them pump
01:43this poison into the one you love.
01:46It's clear the protective nature has been a consistent theme in his life, raising question
01:50about whether his alleged actions at the gym stem from a similar instinct to defend
01:54his family.
01:56One ex-user wrote,
01:57He probably deserves to get punched in his face every time he sees him, pointing to how
02:01the alleged attack could have been Sequoia's fault given that he dated Cheyenne in the
02:06past.
02:07Others have taken to social media to share their thoughts, which have turned surprisingly
02:11comical with one joking,
02:13I got some ex-boyfriends I'd like you to take care of too, Method Man.
02:17While others are having fun comparing him to DC comic vigilante Batman.
