RZA, the rapper and de facto leader of the group Wu-Tang Clan, said he doesn’t begrudge indicted drug company executive Martin Shkreli for buying his $2 million album.

“He bought it, he can do what he wants,” RZA said in an interview with Bloomberg TV’s John Heilemann on the program “With All Due Respect.” “Art -- the beautiful thing about art, from my standpoint, is that it has no discrimination.” Despite some of the rapper’s criticisms of Shkreli, the sale is done. “What we’ve done is historical, and you can’t remove that.”
