Mr. Martin Shkreli, an American entrepreneur, pharmaceutical executive, co-founder of the hedge fund MSMB Capital Management and a fan of American rapper Kanye West has offered to buy out the rapper’s upcoming album ‘The Life of Pablo’ for a hefty $10M so it is not released publicly.
He made this known in a series of tweets with a letter attached to show how serious he was with his offer.

This is not the first time, the entrepreneur is making such a move as he bough Wu-Tan Clan’s one-of-a-kind Once Upon a Time in Shaolin album for $2 million.
According to Mr. Shkreli, West and his label, Def Jam Recordings, are legally required to take his offer to the company’s board of directors, hoping that this would delay Friday’s scheduled release “by a few days.”
Kanye and his label are legally required to take my offer letter to their Board of Directors. This should delay the album by a few days.
