Introduction

Method Man is an American professional rapper, producer, and actor with an estimated net worth of $14 Million.

Music Career

In 1994, he released his first studio album titled “Tical” through Def Jam Recordings; it was the first Wu-Tang solo album launched. He won a Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group for the song “I’ll Be There for You.”

Touring With Redman

A few years later, he released his second studio album, “Tieal 2000: Judgement Day,” which debuted on the Billboard charts and went platinum soon after.

In 2013, he worked on material for “Crystal Meth” and Wu-Tang Clan’s “A Better Tomorrow” album, which artist RZA and others produced.

That same year, Method Man went on tour with Redman and was signed to Rick Rubin’s Def Jam Recordings.

Method Man was consistently one of the most noticeable members of Wu-Tang Clan as the group rose to fame in the hip-hop industry.

He released the mixtape “The Meth Lab” in 2015, which featured artists Redman, Inspectah Deck and Masta Killa, and a few other Wu-Tang members.

The album was well-received by hip-hop fans and reviewers while perhaps not enjoying the same level of economic success as some of his earlier efforts.

He has been acknowledged by Kendrick Lamar as an inspiration, and the rapper has given high marks to the man’s stage presence and lyrical skills.

Fellow rapper Logic has also mentioned Method Man as one of his favorite rappers and has been influenced by his storytelling and lyrical talent.

Pranking Ludacris On MTV

After the release of his mixtape “The Meth Lab,” Method Man featured on the record “Winnebago” with South London rapper Blue Meth.

To mix things up, he landed recurring roles in HBO’s “Oz” and in “The Wire” as Cheese, starring alongside Idris Elba and Dominic West. He received critical acclaim for his role in “The Wire,” and at the same time, he appeared in the series CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.

In 2002, he and Redman hosted the prank show “Stung,” which aired as a special on MTV, pranking rapper Ludacris, which gained widespread fame. That same year, he made guest appearances on TV shows like “Mind of Mencia” and “Chappelle’s Show,” hosted by comedians Dave Chappelle and Carlos Mentia. He played a prominent role in the film “Belly” with DMX and Nas and appeared in the horror movie “Venom.”

When he became increasingly popular in the film industry, he was featured alongside Robert De Niro and Sylvester Stallone in “Cop Land.” He made a guest appearance in the music video “If I Ain’t Got You” by Alicia Keys and starred in “The Good Guys.”

Being Nominated For The Image Award

His portrayal of the main antagonist in “The Good Guys” led to him landing the role of Valentine in season 2 of “Burn Notice.” In addition to appearing in Wonderland, he had a small role in the film The Sitter with Jonah Hill and Sam Rockwell.

In 2016, he starred alongside Keanu Reeves and Tiffany Haddish in the film “Keanu” and joined Hailey Baldwin as a host on “Drop the Mic.” A year later, Method Man received a recurring character in “The Deuce” with James Franco and voiced Ben Urich in the scripted podcast “Marvels.”

He was cast alongside Idris Elba again in the film “Concrete Cowboy” and landed a role in the Netflix series “Teenage Bounty Hunters.” While working on Netflix productions, he portrayed Father Jackson in the 2020 film Vampires vs. the Bronx with Zoe Saldana.

He is currently starring in “Power Book II: Ghost” as Davis MacLean, which won him awards for Outstanding Supporting Actor in 2021, 2022, and 2023. For his role in the film “On the Come Up,” he was nominated for the Image Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture.

Tax Issues

Method Man pleaded guilty to tax evasion in 2010 after failing to pay state and federal income taxes from 2004 through 2007. At the court hearing, Method Man wrote a check on the spot for the final $40,000 restitution payment, having already settled approximately $106,000.

Despite the seriousness of the charges, his defense attorney, Peter Frankel, emphasized that Method Man immediately rectified the situation upon discovering the issue.

In 2010, the court sentenced Method Man to a conditional discharge, meaning that his previous arrest would not remain on his record if he maintained good behavior. Since then, Method Man has avoided the courts and controversy, focusing instead on building a successful TV career.
