Method Man Addresses Comments About The State Of Hip Hop After Diddy’s Arrest
TMZ recently spoke with Method Man and asked whether Sean “Diddy” Combs’ portrayal could affect how people view hip hop culture in the future.
“I don’t think that it has anything to do with hip hop. It has nothing to do with hip hop, at all! So I don’t see the correlation whatsoever,” Method stated.
The ‘Power Book II: Ghost’ star then explained that if people compare creativity and music, “there are still people listening to R. Kelly.”
“I mean, I don’t know. I can’t answer that. But I don’t think it has anything to do with hip hop,” the rapper continued.
