RZA recently admitted that he attempted to buy back the ultra-rare single copy of Wu-Tang Clan's album Once Upon a Time in Shaolin, which was sold to former pharmaceuticals CEO and convicted felon Martin Shkreli in 2015.
Shkreli had listed the album for sale on eBay and RZA tried to pounce on the opportunity, the rapper told Rolling Stone. “The first thing I did was call my lawyer, and I was like, ‘Yo, let’s go,’” RZA said.
However, he was unable to pull the trigger due to contracts that were signed during the initial sale.
