Method Man, a prominent figure in the Hip Hop community, has decided not to return to Hot 97 Summer Jam, expressing that the event’s audience is outside of his target demographic. He and Redman performed at the event on June 2 at the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York.
The event’s lineup prominently featured younger artists such as Doja Cat, Sexyy Red, and Gunna, which may have influenced Method Man’s decision. In the comments section of an Instagram post, he stated:
“Not our crowd at all. Thanks again, New York and the whole tri-state (that showed up to the event) plus Pete [Rosenberg] and Ebro [Darden]. I got love for you guys, but never again… at this point, the generation gap is just too wide for me… #nevercomingback”
