Method Man Defends Hip Hop Amid Diddy Arrest
Rapper Method Man has condemned the linking of Diddy’s recent arrest to the state of hip hop music. He believes the alleged actions of one individual should not reflect on the entire genre.
Method Man said that the correlation between Diddy and hip hop culture is not apparent to him. He emphasized that Diddy’s legal troubles are his own and should not be used to generalize about the industry.
The rapper compared the situation to R. Kelly’s recent conviction.
Despite the singer’s crimes, his music continues to be streamed, and R&B as a genre has not been affected. Similarly, Method Man believes hip hop will remain strong despite Diddy’s arrest.
Method Man also discussed his new fashion venture, a line of crochet bucket hats designed by his son. He said the hats have replaced his traditional doo-rags, a nod to his evolving style.
