Method Man is investing in his nephew’s education by offering him $100 for every semester he pulls in good grades.
In a TikTok post earlier this week, Meth laid down the challenge for his nephew to inspire him to pursue academic excellence.

“Every semester that he gets through without a hitch, including this one, starting now, he gets $100,” Meth said in the post. “There are four semesters in a year right? That’s 400. That’s 400. Do it.”
The brief video ends with Meth dapping up his nephew – see it below.
While some applauded Meth’s kind gesture, others thought that the “All I Need” rapper could have raised the dollar amount.
“A 100 huh I’m a regular nijja a gave my niece 50 for every A 20 for every B and 5$ a c,” one Twitter user wrote in the comments.

Aside from being regarded an elite rapper and a solid actor, it’s well-documented that Meth has a deep passion for cannabis. However, there was a brief moment in time when he stopped smoking weed during the filming of his and Redman‘s classic 2001 stoner comedy How High.
During an appearance on the Kitchen Talk podcast earlier this month to discuss the 21st anniversary of the film, he said that he and Redman temporarily halted their weed smoking because they were getting way too high on the set.

“At first yeah,” Meth responded to Maino’s question about whether he smoked real weed throughout the film. “Hell yeah! And they was like, ‘You guys are so spot on in the morning but after lunch, you come back something’s different.’”
He continued: “The producer Stacey Sher I remember she pulled me to the side and she was like, ‘You know after this I’m gonna still be a producer, my face isn’t on the screen, but I’ll get my credit. That’s your face on the screen. How do you wanna be seen?’ You right, you right.”
Meanwhile, last month, the Staten Island native said he believes the reason that rappers are able to make smooth transitions into acting is because they lie so well.
“I think a lot of rappers are great liars,” he told The Sherri Shepherd Show. “I’ll just keep it a buck, a lot of them are great liars and I think that translates on screen. Honestly, it’s more of being able to stand in front of 15,000 people or 1,500 people and command their attention.”

He added: “Even like when people do plays. We know that the scenery isn’t moving and we know that they’re not on an actual moving train, but we’re so intrigued by the actors and the process that’s going on in front of us that we allow ourselves to fall deeper into our imaginations.”
