Shkreli was probably in shock when early Thursday morning F.B.I. agents arrested the 32-year-old multimillionaire at his apartment, only for him to post the $5M bail less than 24 hours later, using his home as collateral. Seems Martin is not sweating the situation, as he kindly took to Twitter as soon as he was released from jail:
This may spark Bobby Schmurda’s (real name Ackquille Pollard) management to hurry and close on the deal Martin made to post Bobby’s $2M bail. Of course, in exchange Martin wants Schmurda to record an album for him. This may be a tall order to fill, as Martin wants a successful album for the amount of money he’s paying. Seems Martin has a special interest in becoming a big rap star but doesn’t want to risk the ridicule of a failed project. Someone’s got some serious decisions to make.
Martin putting his house as bail collateral was a brave but positive move. His spokesperson said, “Mr. Shkreli is confident he would be cleared of all charges.”
What are your thoughts? Should Schmurda take him up on his offer or should Martin seek other popular talent to seal the deal on his request for a fire beat? There’s a $5M budget out there (Martin at least spoke of one) to make him a hit. He says he will pay Timbaland, Lil Wayne or Drake to make him a hit.
