“Pharma Bro” Martin Shkreli has become infamous in Hip Hop for being a collector of rarities, including Wu-Tang Clan’s $2 million album. Perhaps the most surprising collectible he’s obtained is Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter 5 LP, which has never been released. As it turns out, he got a copy out of pure luck.
Alex Pfeiffer, a White House correspondent for The Daily Caller, recently recounted a conversation he once had with Shkreli about Tha Carter 5. The reporter revealed the controversial figure claims to have simply found the CD in a Bugatti he purchased.
“I’ll always remember how Shkreli told me he got the Carter 5,” Pfeiffer tweeted. “Wayne sold his Bugatti and left the CD in there..new owner sold it to shkreli.”
Shkreli has not publicly revealed how he got his hands on the project despite leaking tracks from it. He has insisted that he obtained it through legal means.
“I believe that the sale is legal,” he said in December 2016. “Criminal law? Forget it … I don’t believe that Lil Wayne could sue me. I don’t believe Birdman can sue me. I don’t think Universal could sue me. It’s a legal sale.”
While Shkreli’s name seemingly continues to pop up in the Hip Hop realm, he has bigger issues to worry about. The businessman was convicted on three counts of securities fraud last Friday (August 4).
Obtained it like a boss, Marty keeps stylin on you suckas.
So the article writer wrote “The reporter revealed the controversial figure claims to have simply found the CD in a Bugatti he purchased”, but the reporter said the new owner of the car (not Shreli) sold it to him. Is it me or the writer can’t even decipher a damn freaking tweet!?!?! HHDX, the f*ck is wrong with you lately???
No surprise coming from the useless, brain dead idiot that is Justine “SHIT FOR BRAINS” Ivey. Couldn’t write a story to save his life.
LOOK AT THIS FUCKING PARASITE!!!!
FREE SHKRELIVELI!!!!!!
the cd isn’t real otherwise he would just realse it independently
What are you smoking? XD
If this guy wants to redeem himself one little bit, he should leak the Carter V, Once Upon A Time In Shaolin and all the other exclusives he has up in his vault.
why would he? if he leaks them, they are no longer rarities or have any monetary value.
Wayne is wack af anyway so who cares. If your fiending for this your probably know dick about hip hop
dinduism
Stop reporting about this scumfuck. I’m interested in hiphop and not in shabby shiteaters.
Honestly, if your interested in hiphop, you’d leave this site for one of the others. This one side been about gossip for years. Hot new hiphop (the site) is about the music.
Lol what the fuck? So, if you had a car you wanted to sell, you wouldn’t sell it? Or, if you were a washed up rapper, you wouldn’t sell your album for $5 million? How doesn’t this make black people look bad
Stupid, sell out money aint everything
How does he know for sure that it is Tha Carter V? It could be just a bunch of songs Wayne had recorded. Remember how many times Dre’s Detox was leaked? How many versions there were?
Because no one has denied it.
You don’t have to deny something that you know isn’t true. No one has said that it’s true either.
can you read? it said he bought the CD from the person who purchased the car…quick to dick ride.
The reporter revealed the controversial figure claims to have simply found the CD in a Bugatti he purchased.
You obviously can’t read the article yourself you fucktard. It’s says he FOUND it in the Bugatti that he bought. He bought the car not the cd you clown.
Sounds like complete bullshit to me. Shkreli or somebody telling tales on his behalf just trying to stay in the news.
i wish there were more ways to say… NOPE! lol
HE DINDU NUFFIN
this fool is more of a hiphophead than all y’all uzi vert stans!
Go away Shkreli. Nobody in hiphop likes you cause you just bogart all these albums. Everyone in America hates you cause you jack up the prices for medicine people need. Just go crawl under a rock and stay there society doesn’t want anything to do with you.
lol wayne probably thought this whole time that birdman sold it behind his back
Free this man.
dont drop the soap martin or you will be getting 5 carters in your booty hole
If you think a high profile piece of shit like this guy will mixed with the general population, you’re very wrong.
