Ghostface Killah has offered his opinion on the infamous price-gouging pharma CEO Martin Shkreli, the purchaser of Wu-Tang Clan's one-of-a-kind album, Once Upon A Time In Shaolin, immediately referring to him a "sh*thead" and calling on him to release the record.
During an impromptu chat with TMZ, Ghostface Killah said "That sh*thead bought it, you know what I mean? You don't take some aids pill [daraprim] that you have for seven dollars, and make it like eight hundred dollars. You don't do that, I don't care if you bought the Wu Tang whatever."
"I don't even know him.", he continued. "When I heard what he did with the aids [drug].... It's out of my hands, man, you know what I mean?" When asked who he would want to own the album and if he wants the owner to be the people, Killah replied "Of course [I'd like it out in public]. What are you going to hold it for 88 years for?"
Wu-Tang Clan had sold the record to Shkreli at auction in December for $2 million, relinquishing all current and future rights, with a further stipulation that the buyer not release the album for public consumption for a whopping 88 years.
According to NME, Method Man called the whole project "f*cking stupid," while Raekwon brought light to the fact that 88 years would mean that the Wu-Tang Clan would be dead and long gone before anyone else heard the album, a concept he didn't seem too fond of.
