Method Man and Fat Joe Open Up About Their Struggles With Depression on New Starz Show

Method Man and Fat Joe recently opened up about their personal battles with depression during an emotional conversation on Fat Joe’s new show, Fat Joe Talks.

In a preview clip, Method Man shared that his struggles with mental health persist, stating,

“I go through these bouts with certain shit. It never really goes away.”

He emphasized how a simple text checking in on friends can make a big difference.

Fat Joe reflected on his own experiences with depression, particularly after the deaths of Big Pun, his sister, and his grandfather, which sent him into a dark period for two years.

“I was sleeping in the bathtub with no water running,”

Joe revealed, explaining how the grief impacted his mental health.

Fat Joe Talks, which airs on Starz, aims to provide viewers with a deeper look into the lives of influential figures driving today’s culture. Each half-hour episode follows Joe as he engages in candid conversations with his guests across the country. According to Starz, the show will offer “authentic, backstage, rare access to these cultural icons.”

Kathryn Busby, President of Original Programming at Starz, described the show as a unique entry into the talk show space, stating,

“We are thrilled to be working with Joe and our partners to launch this incredible show, offering authentic, backstage, rare access to these cultural icons.”

In addition to his candid conversation with Joe, Method Man recently announced his involvement in Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre’s highly anticipated Missionary album. Speaking at REVOLT WORLD in Atlanta, Meth revealed that he’ll be featured on the project, sharing his excitement about working with Dre once again.

“Every time I work with Dre, I feel like I need a do-over,” he admitted, adding, “The second shot I got is for the Dre and Snoop joint coming up. Woo! He got a lot of fire shit on there, man.”

While the Wu-Tang legend remained humble about his contribution, he expressed pride in being part of such a monumental project alongside two hip-hop icons.
