Redman’s Wu-Tang Membership Card Revoked, “He Has Never Been Officially Inducted”

Days after Redman announced his official Wu-Tang Clan induction as the crew's 11th member, insiders have denied the New Jersey rapper's claim.

According to reports, although Red shares a close bond with the Wu, however, he was never inaugurated.

Earlier today I asked a couple of people within the Wu-Tang circle about Redman claiming to be an official 11th member of the Wu-Tang Clan. Unfortunately, this is not true. He has never been officially inducted as an 11th member of the Wu-Tang Clan. Redman is definitely considered as close to being a Wu-Tang member as you can get. But not on the official tip. If anything, you can even consider Nas to be on the same boat as Redman because in the 90?s, Redman and Nas would always be chilling with the Wu-Tang Clan and vice-versa. Reggie Noble aka Redman is the Unofficial Official 11th member of the Wu-Tang Clan. (57th Ave)

Earlier this week, Red said he has been a member of Wu since 2005.

“I am a Wu-Tang member and Method Man, he been a Def Squad member way before I was a Wu member,” Redman said. “I was like a Wu member but I wasn’t official. But [Erick] Sermon made Meth a Def Squad member back in the day. I became a Wu member about 5 years ago. I am the 11th member of Wu.” (All Hip Hop)

Although he may not be official, Red and the Wu’s Method Man released a collaboration album last year.
