As for Wu Tang Clan, the groups co-founder RZA has spoken out and said they sold the album to Shkreli, “well before [his] business practices came to light.”

He also revealed they gave “a significant portion of the proceeds to charity.”

As for fans who may never hear the new project in its entirety, they headed to Twitter to share their thoughts.

Another questioned what Shkreli would do with the album, “cause art shold be free” as he “continues raising the price of his meds”

One would have been simply happy to know what Shkreli’s favorite part of the album is.

Another said that Wu Tang Clan might be the ones to get the last laugh, literally.
