(Radio.com) Martin Shkreli, CEO of Turing Pharmaceuticals, has been at the center of a few controversies. He first became known when his company raised the price on the important AIDS medication Daraprim from $13.50 to $750. Now, Shkreli is making headlines because he plans to bail imprisoned rapper Bobby Shmurda out of prison.

In an exclusive interview with HipHopDX, Martin Shkreli said, "I'm a fan and I'm a business man. "Look, the guy's going to have to record for me if he comes out. I'll just come out and say it� I'm not going to do this for free."

While the CEO wants Shmurda to record for him if he posts his bail, Shkreli says he wants to get involved with hip-hop for the love. "To me, what I'm doing right now in the media, raising prices, all this s-, believe what you want, but it's interesting.

"It gets people talking. At the end of the day, that's what art is. I don't know if I can translate the sh*t into rap or not, but I'll try� In 500 years, they're going to talk about rap the same way we talk about Shakespeare. I just want to throw my hat in the ring, that's all. I don't want to make money." Read more here.
