Method Man has revealed why Redman departed from his role of Theo Rollins in Power Book II: Ghost for Season 3.
The Wu-Tang Clan icon joined The Breakfast Club on Monday (June 12), where he candidly revealed that Redman lost his role due to his refusal to get the COVID-19 vaccine — at least that’s what Meth heard.
“You really wanna know why? He wouldn’t get the jab,” Meth explained when asked about his rhyme partner’s absence from the show. “At least that’s what I heard. Did I talk to Redman about it, No? … Shit like that don’t even need to be said. He’s not the first or the last person that’ll probably happen to.”
He added: “Redman, he made a decision and I stick by whatever that decision was. If he feels that was best for him, I agree with him.”
Actor Jordan Mahon took over to handle the role of Rollins from Redman in Season 3 of Power Book II. Rollins played the sick brother of Davis MacLean (Method Man) who was behind bars for a crime that MacLean, a prominent lawyer, actually committed.
Unfortunately, Rollins’ time in the show came to an end in Season 3 when he died by suicide after murdering dirty lawyer Cooper Saxe and shooting himself seconds later.
Redman is far from the first rapper-actor to have issues with Hollywood’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate. Ice Cube also lost out on a role due to his anti-vaccination stance in 2021.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Cube quit the movie Oh Hell No after declining producers’ requests to get vaccinated, resulting in him losing out on a $9 million paycheck.
Cube has been vocal about wearing masks to prevent the spread of COVID-19 as he handed out 2,000 face masks to use as personal protective equipment to Bacone College in Oklahoma, but it seems that’s the only protection he believes was needed.
Integrity is everything! Millions sold their soul in order to be accepted or for a pay check. I respect him for that. I wouldn’t trust anyone who got the jab shows your willing to fold for nothing
Oh no, we’d all hate to lose your respect. What will I do now that an uneducated narcissist thinks less of me? 🙁
