Skrillex did not spend big bucks on Wu-Tang Clan's special album "Once Upon a Time in Shaolin". The DJ has denied rumors suggesting that he's the new owner of the one-of-a-kind record that's been expected to sell around $5 million.
Fans began speculating that Skrillex had bought the album since the item appeared in his "F**k That" music video. Wu-Tang's producer Cilvaringz then "confirmed" the speculations when answering a fan's question in a forum over the weekend before admitting his statement was a joke.
Responding to Complex's request for comments, Cilvaringz said that Skrillex only borrowed the album for his video. "Bro that was a joke, the album is not sold to Skrillex," he told the site. "It's only in his new video for the song 'F**k That'. I would assume the sale of the album would be a grand official announcement, not a simple 'yup' joking around with forum members we've been talking to for years."
Skrillex has also cleared things up, saying on Twitter on Monday, December 1 that RZA was the one who let him use the only copy of the Wu-Tang album.
