Ghostface Killah stands with the rest of us in hating, Martin Shkreli, the man who managed to get his hands on Wu-Tang’s one of a kind album Once Upon a Time in Shaolin. If you recall, Shkreli who is currently battling fraud charges, is also the same guy who hiked up the price of life-saving AIDS medication from around $13.00 to $750.00 per pill. TMZ photogs caught up with Ghostface in downtown L.A. and asked him what he thinks about Shkreli owning the album and he held nothing back in his response. “Yeah, that shithead bought it,” Ghostface told TMZ. “I don’t even know him, but when I heard what he did with the AIDS like that… That’s not right.” In a similar response to RZA, Ghostface admitted that what Shkreli chooses to do with the album is out of his hands, however he belives that the album should “belong to the people”.
