The West Coast vs. East Coast clash saw the Los Angeles-based battler attack his opponent, who hails from Queens, New York, with this line:
“Ain’t shit y’all can tell me / This is West Coast — home of Snoop Dogg, Tupac, Makaveli / You’re from the fuckin’ home of Donald Trump and Martin Shkreli.”
Once the footage was released, the mention caught the attention of the man himself, who subscribed to the battle league.
That prompted a Twitter shoutout from KOTD staff member King Fly, and then the whole thing got weird.
Will Shkreli accept the challenge?
Last year,
HipHopDX spoke with Shkreli after he purchased the Wu-Tang album and he said that he would like to try his hand at rap.
“I’ve written some rhymes. They’re alright,” he said. “Teams or not, it still has to come from the [artist]. I think I’m a creative guy. I’ve got a pretty deep knowledge of Hip Hop. I’ve got a good vocabulary, a decent sense of humor and enough material to last a fucking lifetime. I’ve got enough material to write five autobiographies. At 32 years old, I’ve seen and done more shit than just about anyone.”
So maybe he’d have a few bars…
Or maybe he was just trolling.
