*This Instagram pic of the Wu-Tang Clan‘s Method Man and Ghostface Killah and ex-FBI chief James Comey, makes us wish we was a comedian or had a super funny streak we could channel instantly ’cause there’s something super funny and very interesting about these 3 people being in the same space at the same time … on purpose.
And since we can’t come up with what’s funny about it, here’s how it came to be. Method Man and Ghostface Killah took the pic with Comey backstage at “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” on Tuesday.
“Me and my brother @methodmanofficial Workin on getting that album back from the feds,” Ghostface wrote in the caption. “wu Tang forever @comey”
What he’s talking about specifically – if you need to know – is that the Wu-Tang has been trying to repossess its one-of-a-kind album, “Once Upon A Time In Shaolin,” which was confiscated from pharma bro Martin Shkreli by the US attorney’s office in Brooklyn. Shkreli infamously purchased the sole copy of the album for $2 million in 2015.
Last month, Shkreli was sentenced to seven years in prison for securities fraud and his assets were seized by the government.
Wu-Tang’s lyricist and producer RZA told Rolling Stone that he tried to purchase the album back at one point when Shkreli posted it on EBay.
It is unclear what will happen with the album, but it could be auctioned off at some point.
So, the photo opp looks like a win-win for Wu-Tang (via Method Man and Ghostface Killah) who got to meet Comey and hopefully got some advise from him on how to cut through the red tape or point them in the right direction. For Comey, since he’s in fight mode with Donald Trump, he’s saying “effit.” He’s got a book to sell. He’s meeting Trump on his level, but he’s also looking for hipness and street cred, so hooking up with 2 hip hop icons was a smart move.
Look out Donald Trump, James Comey is comnin’ for you!
Get the popcorn ready. This is gonna be interesting. 🙂
