Redman candidly opens up about his evolving friendship with Method Man in a recent podcast.
- While not hanging out outside of work, their camaraderie remains strong on stage.
- Redman’s focus is more on family and ‘keeping his circle small’ after tours.
- Method Man is currently busy with his flourishing acting career.
- Fans’ hopes for ‘Blackout! 3’ remain in limbo as both pursue different paths.
Redman has always kept it real, and he didn’t hold back when discussing his relationship with Method Man. The revelation came during a chat on the Julian Dorey Podcast, where Redman was asked if he and his ‘How High’ partner still spend time together off the clock. The answer? A quick ‘Hell no!’ followed by a laugh.
Though their on-stage chemistry is undeniable, Redman clarified that he doesn’t hang out with many rappers. ‘This is work, this is home,’ he explained, emphasizing how important it is to separate the two. He noted that once the touring ends, he and Method Man tend to their personal lives. ‘You got family to deal with, I got shit I gotta do,’ he said, adding with a chuckle, ‘My circle is very small.’
While Redman hangs out with a few select artists like DoItAll from Lords of The Underground and Kid Capri, a legendary DJ, Method Man’s focus is elsewhere. Method has over 100 acting credits and is knee-deep in the world of TV, movies, and producing. Clearly, both have their plates full, albeit in different kitchens.
The duo’s longing for a music reunion was something fans could taste, especially when the idea of a ‘Blackout! 3’ was once on the table. Redman’s hope for a dozen fresh tracks was met with Method Man’s rib-tickling refusal. ‘We are not even focused on no Blackouts! or any of that shit right now,’ Method quipped.
Their legendary debut, ‘Blackout!’, sold a jaw-dropping 254k copies during its first week and hit No. 3 on the Billboard 200. While ‘Blackout! 2’ followed with similar success, any plans for a follow-up have been paused indefinitely. Fans might just have to be patient or enjoy their solo ventures for now.
Despite the distance, Redman and Method Man remain iconic collaborators, each thriving in their unique lanes.
