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.
RZA recently spoke out about the project and where it currently stands, basically stating that Shkreli, who had recently been arrested for securities fraud, can do whatever he pleases with the album, hinting that he could "do something really cool" and let people hear it.
