Martin "Pharma Bro" Shkreli, whether we like it or not, has strong ties to the music industry and is seemingly adamant on staying relevant. He helped fund Collect Records, but the label severed ties with the Pharmaceutical CEO after he raised the price of AIDs and Cancer medication Daraprim from $13.50 to $750 per pill, according to The New York Times. Shkreli was also revealed as the buyer of the Wu Tang Clan's $2 million album, Once Upon A Time in Shaolin, resulting in the hip-hop community getting a taste of the businessman. This week, Shkreli has started a Twitter feud with pop singer Ellie Goulding. He just isn't going away, is he?

Late last month, Shkreli posted a bizarre video calling out Ghostface Killah of Wu Tang Clan. You can read our previous coverage of this video here.
Goulding posted a tweet about this news, and Shkreli eventually responded to it this week. From there, a Twitter feud erupted with plenty of name-calling and more drama.

We're assuming that, as a fan of music reading about a singer on an online music magazine, you are aware that Goulding is anything but a one-hit-wonder. Songs like "Love me Like You Do," "Burn," and plenty of others make Shkreli's argument innacurate.
What other artists do you think the Pharma Bro will go after next? Let us know in the comments section below.
