Method Man recently made an appearance on Math Hoffa’s podcast and spoke about an incident that happened in 2001 involving Destiny’s Child. 

The rapper said the incident happened during Janet Jackson’s ‘MTV Icon’ special and that things went south because of the “low self-esteem” he had at the time. Method Man started by saying:

“I didn’t like myself, so I didn’t like anybody f**king else. So that meant anything that would have come in my circumference at that point in time was gonna get it. My family went through a lot with my ass during that era, man. And I can admit that I did take a lot of my fucking misery out on them, and they did not deserve it. And I took some of my misery out on people at Def Jam that did not fucking deserve it.”

Method Man went on to say he met Destiny’s Child in 1999 when they had different group members, and that the incident occurred when they had gotten a new member—Michelle Williams. Meth said he walked up to the group at the MTV special and tried to say hello, but they didn’t hear him. He perceived them not hearing him as a snub, which caused him to snub them back.Â
