Fans of Method Man know he’s very protective of his wife and he wants to keep her out of the spotlight at all costs.
He even dragged Wendy Williams years ago for announcing that his wife was battling cancer.
Now the rapper has a bone to pick with a blogger for publishing a rare photo of his wife without permission to his website.
When he attempted to ask the blogger to remove the photo via Twitter, the blogger refused, causing Method Man to walk away from his account.

The Wu-Tang Clan legend’s efforts to protect his wife’s privacy have been largely successful up until today, July 26 when he was faced with publicly requesting the removal of an article bearing Mrs. Smith’s likeness in a photo. The article was published on the website of Farrah Gray, a self-proclaimed “Celebrity Entrepreneur” and “God-Made Millionaire,” who touted the post on social media with a headline that resembled something along the lines of “come see” a rare picture of Method Man’s wife.
“I’ll ask again could u Please take it down, if u [have] any decency in u. Please!,” Meth pleaded to no avail on Twitter. When he decided his efforts were in vain, he lashed out one good time before replacing his profile pic with an anti-troll face and dissing the entire lot of them.
“I guess follows n likes are more important than tastefulness and decency.. Smh,” he said before adding, “I’m done with social media until further notice… I’ve lost faith in human decency and I will not feed the trolls any longer. F*ck u all.”

How is the blogger gonna get mad when they were the one in the wrong? If Method politely asked for the picture to be removed, he should have just removed it. His wife is not a celebrity.
I seriously doubt Method was the one who put that photo out. He has always kept his wife out of the public eye because that’s what she wanted. A simple take down without being petty on Instagram would have sufficed.
I’m going to side with Method on this one. He has never put his wife out there, so just respect his wishes and leave her be. She’s not famous or attention seeking. So bloggers shouldn’t be digging up her pictures.
He hasn’t put her out there since the 90s. They did one magazine spread together in like 96. I think that was the photo used. I didn’t see the article before it was taken down.
If the blogger knew the photo was rare and it’s hard to find pictures of Meth’s wife, why are they trying to flip it and act like Meth is the one pulling a PR stunt? The blogger pulled a PR stunt by posting that picture and I’m sure they are loving the attention they are getting now. Meth may be washed up but he’s right about some people doing the most for likes and retweets.
It’s not a secret how he feels about her privacy. I don’t think this was worth shading him for. I’ve only seen one picture of her on the internet so I’m going to assume that’s the one the blogger posted.
Sadly this is the price of fame. None of your family is off limits. I never understood why Method Man doesn’t get that. I mean look at how they did Blue Ivy. They drag that child to hell and back. This is the price of fame.
