Martin Shkreli Tried To Buy Kanye’s New Album For Only Himself For $10 Million
This guy just won’t disappear, will he? In his never-ending quest to be the most hated man in the universe, pharma CEO dick Martin Shkreli has offered Kanye West $10 million to purchase his new album The Life of Pablo, on one condition — it doesn’t get released to the public.

This of course comes after Shkreli bought the one-off Wu-Tang Clan album for $2 million.
Here are the Tweets Shkreli has been sending Kanye:
aiyo @kanyewest last minute can i buy your album out so it dont get released publicly

What an absolute character this guy is. Just when you think he’s had enough of trying to be the world’s biggest troll he shows up again with some next shenanigans. I actually like that he doesn’t give a shit what people think about him, I liked how he handled himself at that congressional hearing the other week, but offering Kanye West $10 million for his new album which probably isn’t even that good? That’s just begging for attention.
As someone who also constantly craves attention, I highly doubt Kanye would ever consider agreeing to this deal anyway. The guy needs to people to listen to his music and tell him how awesome it is, even if they’re just gassing him up.
This follow-up Tweet though:
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.

Mate, just piss off.
