Marin Shkreli has opened the $2million Wu-Tang Clan album he purchased earlier this year.

The disgraced CEO hosted livestream late Friday afternoon, the day after he was arrested on charges of securities fraud, which started off with him looking in the metal case of the album, Once Upon a Time in Shaolin.

'This is pretty cool,' said Shkreli, before putting the album down.

He did not acknowledge it was the album but the band's insignia could be seen on the cover.

This comes after many wondered if the FBI might have seized the pricey piece of art.

Surprise: Martin Shkreli opened the $2million Wu-Tang Clan album he bought earlier this year during a livestream on YouTube

Change of heart?: One day before his arrest, Shkreli said; 'I’m not going to play it for no reason'

Gross: He later amended that comment to say; 'If Taylor Swift wants to come over and suck my d***, I’ll play it for her'

Shkreli spoke about owning the album earlier this week, which was sold last May for $2million after the rap group agreed to release it to the highest bidder.

In an interview with HipHopDx just one day before his arrest, Shkreli said; 'I’m not going to play it for no reason.'

He later amended that comment to say; 'If Taylor Swift wants to come over and suck my d***, I’ll play it for her.'

He still has yet to play the album, though he was called away from the livestream while it was still in progress to take a call.

Earlier on Friday, it was announced the Shkreli would be stepping down as CEO of Turing Pharmaceuticals, the company he founded.

'We wish to thank Martin for helping us build Turing Pharmaceuticals into the dynamic research focused company it is today, and wish him the best in his future endeavors,' Chairman Ron Tilles, who is serving as interim CEO, said in statement.

Shkreli, 32, pleaded not guilty on Thursday to charges of securities fraud, securities fraud conspiracy, and wire fraud conspiracy for orchestrating three interrelated schemes: schemes to defraud investors in MSMB Capital and MSMB Healthcare and a scheme to misappropriate Retrophin’s assets.

His lawyer Evan Greebel is charged with wire fraud conspiracy for his role in the Retrophin scheme.

It is alleged he illegally used stock from the biotechnology firm Retrophin Inc. to pay off debts related to his struggling hedge fund MSMB and to pay back angry investors.

He faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison if convicted on all seven counts.

He is due in court again on January 20.
