Die hard Wu-Tang Clan fan Jason Koza has slammed Martin Shkreli and RZA with a lawsuit after his artwork landed in the $2 million one-of-a-kind album, “Once Upon a Time in Shaolin.” Koza claims he entered nine of his hand drawn portraits the Wu-Tang members to be posted on a site called Wu Disciples. He was delighted when Wu-Tang’s producer Cilvaringz contacted him back in 2014 to say he was working on the “Once Upon a Time in Shaolin” record. Koza claims following that conversation he never heard from anyone in Wu-Tang’s camp again, but was disturbed to find out that the rare album included a leather-bound book with copies of his drawings. Following the sale of the album, where Martin Shkreli picked it up for $2 million, three of his original drawings wound up in a January article of Vice. Koza feels like he’s been jerked around and now is looking for Shkreli, RZA and Cilvaringz to pay up. Click the gallery for photos

TMZ photogs caught up with Ghostface in downtown L.A. and asked him what he thinks about Shkreli owning the album and he held nothing back in his response. “Yeah, that shithead bought it,” Ghostface told TMZ. “I don’t even know him, but when I heard what he did with the AIDS like that… That’s not right.” In a similar response to RZA, Ghostface admitted that what Shkreli chooses to do with the album is out of his hands, however he belives that the album should “belong to the people”.
