The Wu-Tang Clan’s Once Upon A Time In Shaolin album was seized by customs agents at New York’s JFK Airport, according to Page Six.
The site says Cilvaringz said he brought the album with him to the United States and that when he arrived in New York Sunday (March 1), the box holding the album was detained for more than three hours because he forgot the key and no one could confirm the contents of the box.
The TSA’s “highest-strength scanner” was eventually used and Cilvarinz and RZA recounted the story at MoMA PS1 at an event hosted by Paddle8, which is auctioning the album.

hopefully they bootlegged it
this album bullshit is one of the dumbest “innovative” publicity stunts in music history…rza is fucking wu tangs legacy up
No this is a Masterplan by WARNER, you will soon find out !
independant release, warner arent involved
Method Man probably set that up.
method man orchestrated that shit in hopes of it leaking loool
well if random songs start being leaked you know what it is
Some of you can’ read. They didn’t open the box, they used a scanner to see the inside because they couldn’t open it. How can it be bootlegged that way? C’mon…
LASERS!
foo’
even an event like this isn’t going to help sell more copies.
The box itself is made out of gold and silver. And how the F did you forget the Key and your about to auction it
Wise chess moves being made.
too bad no1 cares about these old hasbins
get of his nu*s!!!
If someone from the airport doesn’t leak the album, I’ll be more pissed off than the full body scanners.
i’m happy with a better tomorrow. if this gets leaked, i’m coppin. wu-tang only has base fans. they don’t have any pop fans and shit like that. unfortunate for this highly-talented group, but true.
Dey don fucked up…now its lost tremendous value cuz u never kno if it was opened and bootlegged now. if imma pay a nigga 5 milly…dat is a deal breaker
I hope nobody buys this shit of an album. Method Man
You can’t be flying something into the US from Morocco without the key son
