Martin Shkreli Is Trying To Hold Up The Release Of The New Kanye Album

Pharma douche Martin Shkreli has already used his money to make a mess of the Wu Tang album Once Upon A Time In Shoalin. Now he's trying to do the same with Kanye West's new album The Life Of Pablo.

The 31-year old jumped on Twitter a couple hours ago and offered to buy it for $10 million, on the condition he would get the only recording and wouldn't release it to the public.

We don't think 'Ye would do this, although he would be pleased to learn his album is worth five times as much as Wu Tang's.

But Shkreli also claims that "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."

We don't know how true this is -- or if it's true at all. But we can say Shkreli's troll game is strong.
