Federal fraud charges may the least of Martin Shkreli's problems.
The much-maligned former pharmaceutical CEO threatened to smack Wu-Tang Clan member Ghostface Killah during a radio interview on “The Breakfast Club,” posted Wednesday morning.
"It was a tough decision, let's be clear, it was a tough decision. He's one of the greatest rappers ever — but he's still a man, he bleeds the same blood as me and if you want to talk s**t, I'm not the one," Skreli said during the interview.
"If he were here right now, I'd smack him right in the face!"
The so-called pharma bro said he was merely sticking up for himself after Ghostface called him a “s**thead” for dramatically raising the price of an AIDS drug.
The rapper also said he thought the Shkreli should release for free the one-of-a-kind Wu-Tang album he purchased, “Once Upon a Time in Shaolin.”
Ghostface now seems to be taking things in stride and even retweeted another video in which Shkreli dissed him.
This video of Martin Shkreli threatening @GhostfaceKillah is absolutely insane https://t.co/Eib1Ujho8W pic.twitter.com/rAtU5E4QnT

Shkreli is currently fighting charges he ran an $11 million Ponzi scheme.
He addressed that issue a little more diplomatically.
I am confident I will prevail. The allegations against me are baseless and without merit.
