VIDEO: Ghostface Killah Calls Martin Shkreli 'Peter Pan' in Rebuttal

By Ben Fractenberg | February 9, 2016 3:51pm

Ghostface Killah called Martin Shkreli a “fake-a-- super villain” and "Peter Pan" while also trying to peddle his own cannabis-based miracle oil that purports to combat “tumor and cancer cells” in a video response to the former pharma CEO’s earlier disses.

The 11-minute YouTube clip published Tuesday refers to Shkreli’s group of masked muscle as the “Rice Krispy Gang,” features clips from the '60s-era Batman TV series and shows an image of Shkreli’s face superimposed onto the body of Pee-wee Herman.

“I don’t even know how it came to this,” Ghostface said. “It’s Ghost vs. Peter Pan in like 2016.”

The rapper then called into question the logic of the so-called "pharma bro" criticizing the talents of an MC after purchasing the only copy of the last album he rapped on.

“You are going to come at me after you done bought the Wu-Tang album for $2 million, acting like we washed-up rappers? Like I’m a washed-up rapper, but you done bought a washed-up rapper’s album for $2 million,” Ghostface said. 

The founding Wu-Tang member then pleaded with Shkreli to lower the price of the AIDS drug he raised 5,000 percent.

“You a killer, man, but you a soft killer. You a baby, man,” Ghostface said. “You don’t do that to the people, man, they need that.”

The founding Wu-Tang member then introduced his own gang of masked middle-aged women who threatened to “spank” Shkreli and also demanded he lower the price of the drug.

An ad then appears for the cannabis-based oil “Wu-Goo,” which also claims to reduce seizures, combat anxiety and depression, and reduce blood sugar levels.

Shkreli was unsurprisingly not amused with the video.
