NEW YORK (AP) – Former pharmaceutical chief Martin Shkreli’s campaign to build up an impressive music portfolio rolls on.

After spending $2 million for the sole copy of Wu-Tang Clan’s “Once Upon a Time in Shaolin” late last year, the 32-year-old former hedge fund manager is now offering $10 million for Kanye West’s new album.

Shkreli, an active Twitter user, posted a copy of an offer letter for Kanye West’s new album “The Life of Pablo” to his account on Thursday. In the letter, Shkreli, asks West to withhold the release of his album and instead sell it exclusively to him for $10 million.

Shkreli said in a separate tweet that West and his label, Universal Music Group, are legally required to take his offer to their board.
