Despite throwing some disrespectful shots at Wu-Tang Clan following the release of Once Upon A Time In Shaolin, Martin Shkreli really wasn’t about that life, according to New York Daily News.
Apparently, the millionaire Pharma Bro thinks he was saved from a possible gang war with the legendary Hip Hop collective after his 2015 FBI arrest for securities fraud, according to author Cyrus Bozorgmehr. Bozorgmehr recently penned a new book called Once Upon A Time In Shaolin, which dives into the entire controversy.
“There had to be retaliation for this … maybe even bullets from a Staten Island crew who wouldn’t let the Clan get dissed by this fuck,” claimed Bozorgmehr, who was allegedly a final decision maker and representative for Mr. S, the man who funded Once Upon A Time In Shaolin.
“Wu-Tang Clan Ain’t Nuthing ta Fuck Wit,” Bozorgmehr said. “And there’s an awful lot of gangsta motherfuckers who’d be delighted to step to Martin first — no matter what anyone said. Man’s going down.”
Shkreli’s interview with HipHopDX’s former Editor-In-Chief Justin Hunte, which was mentioned in the Daily News article, evidently didn’t help either and dug a deeper hole for Shkreli.
Rapper Cilvaringz, a close associate to the project, even called Shkreli days after his arrest and subsequent bail to warn him of a real danger.
Since then, Shkreli has gone to leak a few tracks from Once Upon A Time In Shaolin alongside teasing tracks from Lil Wayne’s still unreleased Tha Carter V.
smfh, you gotta be kidding me, a book on the matter? really?
this is beyond ridiculous
No joke, Martin is more of a gangster than any of wutang ever were. He’s a freaking pharma billionaire…. pharma are made up of REAL gangsters, not the guys wearing thick chains and lowriders lol.
This might be true…if he were anywhere near a billionaire. But he’s not. He’s not even a hundred millionaire. The real pharma gangsters aren’t out here doing the pettiness he’s trying to get away with.
Good call man, idk why I thought he was so rich.
No Joke, Tommy doesn’t know shit about hip hop, hip hop culture, or much of anything else, for that matter.
Lowriders? GTFOH
Somebody just have to kill this bitch made murder.
Sorry to say man this guy has the kind of money to hire ex green berret ex secret service ex marines and arm them with the best weaponry available this guys wouldnt fear some dumb fucking gangster with a glock or some shitty smith and wesson beginner ar 15 platform or a likewise ak platform with NO training give me a break with this gangster shit
Not “being about that life” means more than actually doing dirt yourself, it’s also dealing with the consequences of soliciting murder, something he wouldn’t do either. You think he could be in any penitentiary with a hip hop murder charge on him? At least not in general population…
Its not a hiphop murder just a murder you fuckin idiots and you SERIOUSLY dont think some of these multi million dollar executives havent had someone killed before for profit? Lmao damn your stupid to contract a clean hit all you need is around $50K and i wasnt saying he would just murder him anyways i was saying if any dumb fuckers are going to try coming after him hes gon a have HELLA mercenaries on hand to handle any issues people who actualy know how to pull the trigger and look at there targets not just look away and squeeze like some scared desperate ass gangster
U sound like a bitch that never been into shit, talking about mercenaries and $50k hits lol foh
U sound like a bitch talkin bout mercenaries and 50k hits lol foh…I bet u think conor mcgregor is gonna beat Floyd too ??get a life white boy
McGregor would annihilate Floyd if he didn’t have to dumb down his fighting skills.
I guess we’ll never know now will we? Don’t make excuses for your great white hope now, the fight didn’t even start yet lol
If mcgregor was really who u think he is he wouldn’t have to leach on to Floyd, to get his ass beat by Floyd, in Floyds sport, to get the biggest payday in his life, from Floyd…u gtfoh here too white boy lol
The fuck are you seriously making mccgregor and mayweather about race? Lmao man your a real type of special huh? And FYI i think in a boxing match mayweathers gonna fucking roll connor up and smoke him but if you put mayweather in a street fight or a MMA fight connor would break him into a million pieces if you had them in a wrestling match? Probably connor again sorta see the point? I dont just base my decision on there color like a dumb fucking fan boy i base it on the man and the circumstances because either could effect the outcome
Always some outsider sealing and exploiting a culture and along comes this clown if this was country music and he was any other color he would have been dealt wit charge wit a crime or come up missing
“sealing and exploiting” – You misspelled “buying”, as in he bought the album.
sounds like this Justin Hunte guy did dude dirty smh
Since Cilvaringz isn’t actually a rapper but just a new age Wu-Tang hanger-on that for some reason gets a nickname…I have to wonder about the perspective of this whole article. This is what happens when culture vultures come into the equation.
i think he makes beats
The only culture vulture here is your black ass. Cilvaringz has been a wu tang manager since the beginning! Now sit yo dumb ass down, you dont know shit about Hip Hop but want to talk about vultures. Yo mama shouldve never had ur racist ass
Either you are giving publicity to Justin Hunte or throwing him under the bus for leaving hiphopdx. Which is it?
Just read the entire article on Daily News. Is this satire? Where is the proof in any of this? This sounds like some sensational bullsht
cool
i dont care about his politics with music. his head on a pike would have done the world a favor.
Im the biggest Wu Tang fan and anybody who believes this is full of shit. Wu tang was never a gang and dont have any affiliation with gangs. In the last 25 years there was never any hardcore beef with them.. a few disses and fights but NO GUNS or murders. I cant believe people also think that blacks can do anything to crazy rich albanians. They will find you and make ur fam disappear.
Shut up you white pussy. lol Stop being hurt because your fellow white boy got pressed. There are literally thousands of people affiliated with Wu-Tang who could fuck this dude up. We never hear about shit because 1. People don’t have the balls to diss them. 2. Beef gets dealt with behind the scenes. You’re not even albanian you corn ball. You just want to feel “gangster” too.
Eat a dick, black pussy. Y’all think it’s okay to come at us with all of that “white” slander like it’s justified now? F**k you, racist bastard!
Seems like you want to feel gangster, you clueless keyboard bastard. Read up on REAL gangsters and where they originated from. La Costa Nostra. ITALIANS are the REAL gangsters, not your cornball, copycat project hoodlums.
Bro, you really are ignorant. Some rappers that people like aren’t fucking with a true gangster. Pharmaceutical companies are fuckig true gangsters. Not the kind that go around with chains and acting hard. They are the billionaires who actually own the hoods they claim to run.
Wutang was always made up of nice, laid back, non violent guys.
You dont know what you talkin bout lol
