Ghostface Killah Hilariously Calls out Martin Shkreli

By now you are surely familiar with Martin “the Antichrist” Shkreli, the pharmaceutical executive who obtained the manufacturing license for the antiparasitic drug Daraprim, only to raise its price overnight from $13.50 per pill to $750.00 per pill. A couple of weeks ago, Shkreli further cemented his “most hated man in America” status when he randomly posted a video attacking Ghostface Killah of Wu-Tang Clan fame — the 32-year-old Shkreli paid $2 million for the sole copy of the hip-hop group’s album Once Upon a Time in Shaolin, later bragging that he had no plans to listen to the album, but merely bought it to “keep it from the people.”

Well, when you bizarrely go after a rap god who is adored by millions of fans, you can expect some comeuppance. On Tuesday, Ghostface struck back in grand fashion, first in an appearance on Fox Business, and later in a separate video in which he calls Shkreli a “fake ass supervillain” and “the man with the 12-year-old body,” among other digs. Check it out here:

I’d like to think that Ghostface had intentions of being the bigger man here and letting Shkreli drown in his own douchebaggery, but he probably couldn’t help but catch wind of this comment (which I would love to see happen):

Oh, and in another new legal development for Shkreli, he is now being sued in Manhattan federal court by New York artist Jason Koza, whose illustrations of Wu-Tang members were used in packaging for Once Upon a Time in Shaolin without consent.
