Dubbed by the internet as the most hated man in the United States, Martin Shkreli has decided he wants to own another piece of hip-hop history all to for himself. The pharma boss has offered Kanye West $10 million to buy The Life Of Pablo and not make the album public.
In a series of tweets, Shkreli reveals his plan to buy the album including the alleged letter that he sent to Kanye and his team. He also claims that because of this offer, Kanye and his board of directors will have to consider it, thus delaying TLOP's release at least a few days while they consider it.

Here is my initial offer for the album. @kanyewest Thanks for your consideration and I look forward to your response pic.twitter.com/opJ7mlfraK — Martin Shkreli (@MartinShkreli) February 11, 2016
Kanye and his label are legally required to take my offer letter to their Board of Directors. This should delay the album by a few days.

While Shkreli claims Kanye would make more money from this offer, the world has already heard the album from the Yeezy Season 3 launch and he can probably sell millions of copies worldwide.
Shkreli became famous in the music world when he was revealed to be the man who purchased the one-of-a-kind Wu-Tang Clan album Once Upon A Time In Shaolin.
Since then he has arrested on securities fraud related to his various business practices, but has not stopped beefing with Ghostface Killah to keep himself in alive in the blogosphere.
This guy just won't go away will he? If he goes to jail hopefully he doesn't get a phone in there.
