Back in August of this year, it was reported that Wu-Tang Clan had created an album, Once Upon a Time in Shaolin, that only existed in the form of a single copy. Then, over the weekend, an interesting development in this story occurred: it was reported that EDM superstar Skrillex had purchased the album for $5 million dollars.
The origins of this report actually came from a fan forum, where Wu-Tang producer Cilvaringz replied to this claim with a one-word “yup” reply. (via Hot New Hip-Hop)
Turns out, this story isn’t as true as we’d like to believe, as Skrillex has cleared up the reports, saying that RZA only loaned him the album, and that no money exchanged hands.
