Last month, Shkreli bought the only copy of Wu-Tang Clan’s one-of-a-kind album Once Upon a Time in Shaolin for what he now confirms as a $2 million price tag.

“The sale of Once Upon a Time in Shaolin was agreed upon in May, well before Martin Skhreli’s [sic] business practices came to light. We decided to give a significant portion of the proceeds to charity.”

Now, in an interview that I would swear was fake if it hadn’t been tweeted out by Shkreli’s verified Twitter account, the former Most Hated Man in America is talking more shit than an anthropomorphic colonoscopy probe, telling RZA “If I hand you $2 million, fucking show me some respect.
