METHOD MAN OWES RZA HIS LIFE

METHOD MAN owes his life to his WU-TANG CLAN bandmate RZA after the rap producer inadvertently saved him from a fatal shoot-out when they were youngsters.
Method Man was seconds away from being killed in a drive-by shooting in Staten Island, New York in the early 1990s, just before the Wu-Tang Clan was formed in 1992, according to RZA.
He only escaped the incident by crossing the road to speak to RZA, who had beckoned him over.
RZA tells CNN, "(I called), 'Come over here, yo!' (Method Man) stopped and came running over. A few seconds later - pow-pow-pow-pow-pow! A guy started shooting up the front of (the house). A buddy of ours, Poppy, an innocent, school-going, nice guy - he was shot and killed right there.
"Meth always brings it up... that that day saved his life. He actually said, if it was anybody else calling him, he wouldn't have came (sic)."
