Why this Secret Wu Tang Album Was Released After Trump Won

Donald Trump was elected president yesterday and pharmaceutical executive Martin Shkreli promised last month to release Once Upon a Time in Shaolin if the he took the White House.

Now Martin Shkreli has publicly debuts some songs off the one-of-a-kind Wu-Tang Clan album he bought for $2 million last year.

Early Wednesday morning he played snippets of the album during a live Periscope video posted on Twitter. The video has since been deleted.

He responded to people on Twitter, saying he needed time to release it properly. "Listen stupid I need some time, I'm celebrating, bitches. You wait till I'm ready or I might just damn near change my mind."

Shkreli won the auction for the sole copy of the album last year.

The former Turing Pharmaceuticals CEO was hated by many in 2014 for raising the price of an HIV medication by 5000 percent. He was also charged with securities fraud last year.
