After controversially purchasing a one-off Wu- Tang Clan record, Martin Shkreli has followed-through with his promise to leak the music, following Donald Trump's Presidential win.
Being subject to criticism over his business decisions in the past - most notably for raising the price of a drugs used by Aids patients called Daraprim from £10 to £577 per pill - Shkreli promised to release the album he bought for $2million if Trump won the election... and here we are.
Shkreli was unveiled as the buyer of the only copy of Wu- Tang Clan's album 'Once Upon A Time In Shaolin' in 2015, though it was said he couldn't release the music publicly for 88 years.
Following Trump's win, Shkreli began to livestream cuts from the record via a live Youtube stream, while giving a running commentary on Twitter leading up to the release. You can check out the footage below.
As well as Wu- Tang's record, Shkreli has also stated he is in possession of unreleased music by Nirvana and The Beatles, which he has also said he will share online.
If Trump wins, my entire unreleased music collection, including unheard Nirvana, Beatles, and of course, Wu-Tang, comes out, for free.

Following the unexpected win and subsequent stream of the album, Pitchfork reported that Shkreli will have to negotiate with Wu- Tang Clan for a wider release of the material.
