Method Man is an international figure and is a member of one of the biggest rap groups in history – Wu-Tang Clan – but he says he’s made no money from streaming services despite his music being available on all platforms.
“I’m still trying to figure out AI but I have seen some things that have made me raise an eyebrow — the Drake diss with the [fake] 2Pac and Snoop, the fake Kendrick [diss songs]. It’s a lot to it,” he said of A.I.’s impact on the industry.
“I mean, I think it goes way deeper than that, especially when it comes to IPs [intellectual property] for artists that came from my era. Because honestly I’ve never gotten a streaming check for any of my music,” he shared. “Like I said, I’m still trying to figure it all out because there may be someone who can make a perfect mix of the two where — I’m not saying to accept it, but at least make art out of it, and that’s what I’m always for, the creative part.”
Fans are now curious as to who owns the rapper’s masters and who Meth’s money is going to.
