Martin Shkreli – the “businessman” that purchased the Wu-Tang Clan album Once Upon a Time in Shaolin for $2 million – has offered Kanye West $10,000,000 to purchase his album, The Life of Pablo.
Under the terms of the offer, Kanye would release the album to him and him alone. After all, Shkreli, 32, needs entertainment more than ever now that he’s out of a job and awaiting a possible federal trial on fraud charges.
Shkreli is out on $5 million bond after his fraud arrest in December, to which he pleaded innocent. But much of his estimated $45 million worth maybe be tied up in stock from one of his old companies, which is now under bankruptcy protection. The tax man is after him as well — the IRS says he owes $4.6 million while New York State wants him to cough up $2.7 million.
We can almost assure you that Kanye will probably not entertain this offer – especially since he’s still basking in his MSG showing – but at least he gave it the old college try.
Here is my initial offer for the album. @kanyewest Thanks for your consideration and I look forward to your response pic.twitter.com/opJ7mlfraK
