50 Cent just named Method Man his favorite MC in the legendary Wu-Tang Clan after the NAACP Image Awards. Moreover, Meth won the Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series award for portraying criminal defense attorney Davis MacLean in Power Book II: Ghost. Of course, it’s no surprise that series head honcho Fif would shout out his collaborator, but the Long Island native is still one of the most respected Wu members. Also, the ceremony nominated him for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture for appearing in the hip-hop musical drama On The Come Up.
“@methodmanofficial is no joke,” 50 wrote via Instagram. “He was always #1 in Wu Tang to me but he has transitioned into something that has to be celebrated” he wrote. “This train won’t stop, shout out to @naacp for recognizing and the ZARS network.” Furthermore, the Queens MC co-created and executive produces the Power universe, which has been a big factor in establishing his TV empire. Afterwards, Method Man (real name Clifford Smith) replied “Boom!!!” in the comments, adding trophy and fire emojis.

Also, Smith celebrated his NAACP Image Award with a post of his own, in which the 51-year-old promoted the next step. “3rd times the charm.. another win for the team.. naacp image award winner.. PowerBook II Season 3 ..March 17.” However, that caption is wrong: he had the charm from the start. Not only did he win in this category this year, but it’s his third year winning it in a row. Still, other rappers and artists won debut prizes at the ceremony.
For example, Kid Cudi and his team from Entergalactic won Outstanding Writing in a Television Movie or Special. “This is WILD! Thank u so much to the @naacpimageaward for the love!!!” the artist tweeted. “Entergalactic was a huge passion project of mine, and its a beautiful thing gettin recognized for the hardwork we put into it. I am so so happy that an idea I had ended up being a really epic one.” With so many years of experience under his belt, it’s likely that Meth also has that sense of hard effort, gratitude, and pride in his work. Still, regardless of any of that, the question remains… who is your favorite Wu-Tang member? Let us know in the comments and stick around on HNHH for the latest on Method Man and 50 Cent.
