Okay, so we informed you guys about the whole ‘pharmaceutical jerkhole purchases one-of-a-kind Wu-Tang Clan album for $2million‘ thing – but ICYMI, let us remind you:
Many people were obviously furious, especially because after the purchase, Shkreli allegedly ‘listened to a few minutes, then delegated the task to an employee’. Hooooly dooly, tut tut tut, boy oh boy, people were maaaaaad.
But some of those feelings have been brought down to a steady simmer now, because Wu-Tang Clan have donated a good chunk of Shkreli’s payment to charity, literally out of guilt after discovering the buyers identity.
RZA confirmed the rappers agreed to donate a portion of the sale to a good cause, in an email to Bloomberg Businessweek magazine:
“The sale of ‘Once Upon a Time in Shaolin’ was agreed upon in May, well before Martin Skhreli’s business practices came to light. We decided to give a significant portion of the proceeds to charity.”
Thank fuck, tbh, because everyone was getting all Leslie Knope ’bout it:
