Method Man was seen on The Breakfast Club today and revealed why Red Man didn’t appear as the role of Theo Rollins in Power Book ll: Ghost for season 3.
While speaking with Charlamagne Tha God and Dj Envy, Method Man, revealed that he heard Redman lost his spot because he didn’t want to get the covid-19 vaccine. “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 soon took over the role and did great during the season. But fans wanted to see Method Man and Redman have that brother chemistry on camera.
But unfortunately fans won’t get to see that now that the character Theo Rollins has died. The death of Rollins made twitter users think about if it would’ve been Redman and how big the episode would’ve been.
Regardless of how things turned out, Power still had a successful season even though their last two episodes were leaked early.
Later in the interview Method Man also reflected on his hit song with Mary J. Blige titled, “I’ll Be There For You/You’re All I Need To Get By.” According to Meth he didn’t want to put the record out because he didn’t want to get put into the R&B lane.
“I was scared of it. I didn’t even want to put the record out,” he admitted. “I knew what it would do. I just didn’t want to be put in that R&B light. Remember, we had a problem with that… You can paint it any way you wanna paint it, it’s still [LL Cool J’s] ‘I Need Love,’ but for another generation.”
