It’s pretty much the worst thing ever that self-anointed douchebag CEO of Turing Pharmaceuticals, Martin Shkreli, came to be the sole owner of the only existing copy of Wu-Tang Clan’s Once Upon A Time In Shaolin. Dude somehow managed to score the album at auction for somewhere in the neighborhood of $2 million, and that’s an utter disgrace to hip-hop no matter how you cut it.
For some time now, the Pharma Bro has been beefing with Wu-Tang member Ghostface Killah, after Ghost publicly called him a “shithead” for raising the price of Turing’s AIDS drug, and later remarked that Shkreli had a “Michael Jackson nose.” Ghostface also suggested that the album should probably just be released to the public, something that greedy S.O.B. Shkreli will likely never let happen.
But now, Martin Shkreli is weighing in with threats to DESTROY the one-of-a-kind Wu-Tang album if Ghostface Killah doesn’t issue him a written apology. Pharma Bro’s video ultimatum is, well, the most laughable thing I’ve seen on the internet today.

Try-harder, Pharma Bro. You can’t. I just can’t get over how much of a loser this guy is. All the money in the world, but he still can’t buy an ounce of class or decency. Needs a good ‘ol’ fashioned ass kicking IMHO.
Shortly after the pretty idle threat video started making the rounds, a not-so-hardened by the streets Shkreli took to Twitter to lay out the specific demands for the apology he will likely never get from Ghostface Killah.
A @GhostfaceKillah response tomorrow evening. Don't cry, Ghost. All rap careers come to an eventual end. Long time coming, motherfucker.

As mentioned in my video, I expect a written apology, @GhostfaceKillah. At least 500 words, no grammatical errors and Shaolin stays intact.

And you know what I hope happens? That Ghostface Killah responds with his fist to Shkreli’s face, steals back Once Upon A Time In Shaolin, and then hosts a massive listening party to it while people dance on Pharma Bro’s grave.
That would be excellent.
Not to mention, the notion of destroying something you shelled out $2,000,000 for is just ludicrous.
