Kanye West shared new album artwork and made a videogame about his mom; in the meantime, Martin Shkreli...
Rapper Kanye West debuted his new album "The Life Of Pablo" during a huge event in New York. He unveiled the artwork (which you can see below: it was designed by Peter De Potter.) and also told that he will soon release "Only One", a video game about his mother ascending to heaven.
But tht's not all, because Martin Shkreli, pharmaceutical mega-villain and owner of Wu-Tang Clan's one of a kind precious album, stepped in the frame with a last minute theatrical move: in a series of tweets, Shkreli expressed his desire to buy Yeezy’s new album, before it receives a commercial release.

Shkreli posted the image of an actual offer letter in the amount of a whopping $10 million.
Here is my initial offer for the album. @kanyewest Thanks for your consideration and I look forward to your response pic.twitter.com/opJ7mlfraK

It seems highly unlikely that Kanye would enter into such an agreement that prioritizes money over art and integrity, or do business with someone like Shkreli - but it’s possible that the offer may have an effect on the album’s release.
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.
