Method Man says he has heard a lot of criticism about his work as the co-star of Chozen, an animated comedy about a gay White rapper who was recently released from prison.
Method Man recently spoke on Twitter about the criticism he has heard regarding the TV show, a program made by the creators of HBO’s Eastbound & Down. In his series of Twitter posts, which were published during the week, Method Man said that he does not care about anyone’s opinion of a show they have not seen yet, noting that the program is slated to premiere January 13 on FX.
In his Twitter statement, Method Man, who recently announced his The Meth Lab project, also says that he did not work on this program for the money. He says he was paid $1,500 – $2,000 an episode. “It was a favor,” Method Man says. According to Method Man, he did the work for free at first, only confirming that he was paid after “the show got picked up” by FX.
