Martin Shkreli continues troll streak, asks to buy Kanye's album for $10 million

Kanye is also no stranger to saying dumb things on the Internet.

In an attempt to make even more lives miserable, infamous pharma bro and major troll Martin Shkreli wants to be the sole owner of Kanye West's upcoming album.

Shkreli tweeted a letter on Thursday, offering Kanye $10 million for his new album Swish Waves T.L.O.P.,which stands for The Life of Pablo.

Shkreli is piggy-backing off the fact that he is the exclusive owner to the newest Wu-Tang Clan album Once Upon a Time in Shaolin, which cost him $2 million. As you can imagine, Shkreli purchasing the album pissed a lot of people off, so this is just icing on the cake.  

However, the man finds great pleasure in trolling the world, and was most likely doing just that. It's interesting he choose Kanye, though, who is no stranger to saying dumb things on the Internet. 

Regardless if Shkreli is serious, he clearly expects an answer from West, who debuted his latest fashion collection, Yeezy Season 3, on Thursday.

West also just live streamed his new album. So much for the exclusive.
