Martin Shkreli argued that members of the Wu-Tang Clan should participate in a court battle he’s facing over a rare album they produced as they still hold rights to it.
Martin “Pharma Bro” Shkreli — who’s been in a legal fight with PleasrDAO over a one-off Wu-Tang Clan album — argued in court that members of the hip hop group should take part in the legal tussle.
Shkreli said in a Jan. 6 dismissal motion to a Brooklyn federal court that if the bid for dismissal is unsuccessful, then Wu-Tang member Robert Diggs, who goes by RZA, and the album’s producer Tarik Azzougarh, known as Cilvaringz, should be included in the suit as “they maintain a property interest in the copyrights” to the album at issue.
PleasrDAO sued Shkreli in June 2024, claiming he wrongly held onto and threatened to release digital copies of a physical one-off Wu-Tang Clan album called Once Upon a Time in Shaolin, which caused “significant monetary and irreparable harm” to the group.
