Martin Shkreli, the controversial pharmaceutical exec, has offered Kanye West $10 million to purchase his “The Life Of Pablo” album.
Ye streamed the album on Tidal Thursday night during his “Yeezy Season 3” event in Madison Square Garden.
Shkreli made his offer to Mr. West in a letter posted onto Twitter.

“I have been a tremendous fan of your music for many years,” he wrote. “Specifically, the album ‘The College Dropout’ inspired me to succeed at a young age.”
Shkreli made headlines after he purchased Wu Tang’s “Once Upon A Time In Shaolin” album for a cool $2 million.
“I am writing to you in hopes of convincing you to withhold the release of you forthcoming studio album. Instead of releasing this product for your millions of fans, I ask you to sell this recording solely to me, for the price of $10,000,000. I believe you (and your partners) will find this financial arrangement more attractive than your current course of action.”

Shkreli later wrote, “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.”
