Lil Wayne Threatens To Sue Martin Shkreli Lil Wayne is sick and tired of azzhole pharma tycoon Martin Shkreli . If you’ll recall, Martin revealed that he had somehow gotten his hands on the completed Carter V album (Heyyyy Birdman!), and even played a song from the album over the internet around Christmas. Wayne let that one fly, but now, after Shkreli leaked more of Tunechi’s tunes earlier this month — including one featuring Kendrick Lamar — he ain’t having it. According to TMZ , both his own lawyers and Universal Music both issued cease and desist letters to Shkreli. Bottom line, if he pulls the isht again, he will need to pay up. Honestly, at this point, we’re starting to believe that Shkreli’s leaks are the closest we’re going to come to hearing the project.
If you’ve lived your life up to this point gloriously unaware of the human mysterious mattress stain that is Martin Shkreli, then you may not want to read any further. There was a time when Shkreli (aka Shkreli-Shkrel, aka F–kface) terrorized social media with heteretofore unknown levels of douchery. However, after years of using his ill-gotten fame to harass female journalists and pick fights with members of the Wu Tang Clan , the pharmaceutical CEO-turned-supervillain was recently forced to retreat back under from the bridge from whence he came. Shkreli was banned from Twitter recently after bullying a Teen Vogue writer, but he’s clearly devoted his newfound free time to finding new and interesting ways to make life worse for as many people as possible. You see, one of Marty’s favorite activities is messing with hip hop fans and famous rappers, the latter group, of course, being commonly known as a meek and mild-mannered lot, unlikely to do anything but cower in the face of opposition from a 34-year-old trust fund baby. After his beef with Wu Tang, Shkreli butted heads with Lil Wayne , attracting the rapper’s attention by somehow pirating his unreleased Carter V album and releasing portions of it online without consent. Now, Shkreli has apparently decided that he’ll continue antagonizing Wayne and try to piss off the hottest rapper on the planet right now for good measure. Despite stern legal warnings from Team Weezy, Shkreli has released yet another track from Tha Carter V , this one featuring a verse from Kendrick Lamar. TMZ has the stolen audio , which doesn’t sound all that great with Shkreli shrieking over the track like some prep school DJ Khaled who was recently the recipient of a traumatic wedgie. No word on what sort of legal consequences might be in play, but considering Shkreli is already facing jail time on securities fraud charges, he’s really playing with fire. Of course, getting sued would probably be a best-case scenario for Shkreli. If this little stunt goes viral, Kung-Fu Kenny might put lil Marty in a spiral. If you don’t get that reference go listen to Kendrick’s Damn in its entirety. Just don’t be like Shkreli and pirate it. In fact, don’t be like Shkreli in any aspect of your life. Bam! We just hit you with the best advice you’ll ever receive. Feel free to call us dad from now on.

You didn’t think you would get out of 2016 without the universe once again testing the limits of believability and forcing you to seriously consider your stoner friend’s theory that the Matrix was a documentary, did you? Well, that’s just silly. The Year From Hell may be coming to a close, but the reign of the bad guys it brought to power has just begun. Our guess is that some time in early 2017, Trump and Putin will sit down with a Risk game board and a Sharpie, and circle the parts of the world doomed for nuclear annihilation, while this aspiring supervillain serves refreshments and takes notes: In case you’ve somehow remained blissfully unaware of his existence, that’s former pharmaceutical exec turned professional troll Martin Shkreli. Shkreli first gained fame for jacking up the price of a life-saving medication used by by AIDS and cancer patients by roughly 5,000 percent (not a typo) during his time as CEO of Turing Pharmaceuticals. He gained the sort of viral fame that’s not supposed to outlive one 24-hour news cycle, but Shkreli beat the odds by taking douche-baggery to previously unimagined extremes. One of the 32-year-old asshat’s strangest techniques for remaining semi-relevant is screwing with rappers (What could go wrong?) by obtaining the rights to their music and either releasing it or not releasing, depending on what will piss them off more. Shkreli’s first experiment with antagonizing guys who boast about violence for a living came when he purchased a $2 million Wu Tang Clan album , seemingly so that he could experience the joy of not streaming it for anyone else. Shkreli wound up feuding with Ghostface Killah , and continues to draw breath for reasons that remain unclear. Martin must have really enjoyed his near-death experience, because he’s been buying and stealing unreleased hip hop music ever since. Sometimes it works out for him, and he’s able to piss of millions of people, which we assume is the only way he can achieve sexual climax, but sometimes it doesn’t go so well, such as the time some hero stole $15 million from Shkreli while he was trying to obtain the exclusive rights to Kanye West’s latest album. Moments ago, Shkreli decided to kick off a beef with Lil Wayne by streaming portions of the rapper’s unreleased Tha Carter V album: Martin Shkreli Streams Lil Wayne Album “He’s talking about me in that song,” Shkreli tells the camera in the clip above, pointing to himself for emphasis. “Weezy. Cash Money.” Yeah, we get it, Martin. Did someone let this kid have sugar? You know how he gets! if you’re a hip hop fan, you’re probably aware that the highly-anticipated album was scheduled to be released back in October of 2014, but has seen more than two years in delays due to ongoing legal battles between Wayne and his former label boss Birdman . Shkreli wasn’t a thing back then (how we long for those times), so if he really is name-checked in a verse, then Wayne has clearly been tinkering with Carter V . Thus far, there’s no confirmation on whether or not the track is actually about Shkreli, but multiple sources have verified that Wayne is pissed and planning legal action. So there’s hope for justice in the new year yet. Not only is Shkreli set to be sued and possibly marked for assassination by Weezy F. Baby, he’s also scheduled to face trial for conspiracy to commit securities fraud . Here’s hoping Marty ends up in Riker’s and they give him Wayne’s old cell. We’re sorry we doubted you, 2017. Please make this happen for us.

Former pharmaceutical exec and noted penis hole Martin Shkreli took his campaign to become the real-life incarnation of a Mr. Burns-like cartoonish supervillain to a new level moments ago, announcing on Twitter that he’d like to purchase the sole rights to Kanye West’s long-anticipated seventh studio album, The Life of Pablo . Failing that, Shkreli says, he at least wants to prevent the record from being released on time. In an open letter to the rapper posted online moments ago, Shkreli wrote, “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 tweeted, “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.” You may remember that Shkreli purchased the only copy of the Wu Tang Clan’s Once Upon a Time in Shaolin back in December. The difference there was that the Wu had always planned on selling a single copy to a wealthy super-fan in hopes that said aficionado would eventually make the disc available to the public. Shkreli has yet to do so, and he’s since butted heads with Ghostface Killah and other Wu Tang members as a result. With Kanye, of course, Shkreli is taking on the hip hop world’s most famous ego, and it seems unlikely that the former hedge fund manager actually expects Yeezy to make a deal. That said, we’re sure Mr. West will handle this elaborate act of trollery in a rational, level-headed fashion. Just kidding, ‘Ye’s about to go off on this dweeb.
You may know Martin Shkreli as the douche who jacked up the price of the life-saving AIDS drug Daraprim. But with any luck, the inmates at Lewisburg Federal Correctional Facility will soon know him as the little weasel who’s willing to shell out more commissary Hot Pockets for protection than any terrified new fish in cell block history. Shkreli was arrested this morning on charges of securities and wire fraud after an investigation revealed that the 32-year-old penis wrinkle CEO had used stock from his former drug company to pay off past debts from a hedge fund he ran into the ground. We don’t want to jump the gun and call this a Christmas miracle just yet (The guy still has to be convicted and sentenced, after all.), but it’s hard not to get excited over the idea of karma delivering a ball-shattering crotch kick to a guy who’s horrendously dick-holish behavior isn’t limited to rolling the dice with the lives of millions of sick people. Shkreli was recently accused of stalking and harassing a former employee; he was fired from his post at Retrophin (the company whose stock he essentially stole) “because of serious concerns about his conduct,” and he enjoys flaunting his obscene wealth by purchasing extravagant status symbols like a $2 million Wu-Tang Clan album . (Hilariously, Wu-honcho the RZA blasted Shkreli on social media, and the little fella got all worked up about it.) As of today, Twitter fights and random feuds with Bernie Sanders are probably pretty low on the wannabe-G’s list of 99 problems, as he’s facing a lengthy prison sentence if convicted. Hey, look on the bright side Martin: You might finally get some of that street cred you so desperately seek. They probably won’t let you take your collection of priceless, limited-edition Air Jordans into the clink with you, though.
By now, you’ve likely heard the name Martin Shkreli. In case you’ve had your fingers buried knuckle-deep in your ears in hopes of shutting out the anguished wails of the millions who might suffer as a result of Shkreli’s deplorably greedy actions, allow us to fill you in: Shkreli is a 32-year-old hedge fund manager and executive chairman of Turing Pharmaceuticals who raised the price of Daraprim – a life-saving drug used for the treatment of toxoplasmosis that’s listed as an “essential medicine” by the World Health Organization – from $13.50 to $750 a pill. That’s a 5,455% price increase that will make the drug unaffordable for millions of HIV patients who depend upon it for their continued survival. That’s a lot to take in, but all you really need to know is that is that Shkreli is the King Douche who makes Donald Trump look like Mother Teresa, Gandhi and Nelson Mandela all combined into some sort of benevolent Voltron. Anyway, it’s been open season on Shkreli ever since the world learned that this rich little prick is getting richer by becoming America’s newest death profiteer, and the folks at Gawker have unearthed an interesting tidbit from this dick weasel’s past. It all started when Shkreli accused a former employee named Timothy Pierotti of stealing $1.6 million from him . Rather than leaving the matter up to the courts like someone who actually has a sound case, Shkreli wrote a letter to the man’s wife, claiming that he had offered Pierotti $40,000 for the “safe return” of his money, which would be entirely unnecessary if there were any truth to Shkreli’s version of events. “I hope to see you and your four children homeless and I will do whatever I can to assure this,” Shkreli concluded, sounding very much like a graduate of the C. Montgomery Burns School of Business. In case you were worried that he stopped there, like someone who’s only partially out of his gourd, fear not: Shkreli went on to harass Pierotti’s daughters on Facebook, sending messages that read, “I’m surprised you don’t know who I am,” or simply, “He betrayed me.” Shkreli proceeded to (allegedly) hack into Pierotti’s social media accounts and change all of his passwords. He also texted Pierotti’s wife with baffling messages such as, “Hey sweetheart.” When the police were contacted, Shkreli told them he had no idea who Pierotti is. He proceeded to settle out of court when sued by the Pierotti family. So there you have it. Martin Shkreli – cartoonish geek-villain name, cartoonish geek-villain level of psychosis.
