After ticket sales to The Wu-Tang Clan’s one-off Sydney Opera House show evaporated in just minutes yesterday, Australians of all walks are left wondering about the type of people capable of paying nearly a thousand dollars to watch a 40-minute rap spectacular in the Concert Hall.

With the news that the now infamous American alt-right pharmaceutical magnate, Martin Skreli, was revealed to be the owner of the Wu-Tang clan’s sole record, Once Upon a Time in Shaolin, many pundits are wondering what the core Australian Wu-Tang fan looks like.

Aside from the hundreds of thousands of run-of-the-mill Australian hip hop fans who actually enjoy the music of Wu-Tang, it is believed the Skreli-model fan base is alive and well in Australia.

Epitomised by the late-30s Sky News commentator, Paul Murray, who fits the stereotype of conservative male professionals who claim to ‘be into the clan’ to maintain a youthful edge.

“He’s just got that look about him” says iconic Australian Wu-Tang liason, Dylan Alcott.

“Wyatt Roy as well… Maybe Andrew Voss? A lot of true fans lost tickets to the pharma-bro-style fan”

Former Sky News commentator Mark Latham also says that it wouldn’t surprise him if his colleague was into the hibbity-hoppity music.

“He really likes cigars… And I think he’s got a collection of samurais. It’s hard to tell what his actual interests are… But I’d say he’s a Pootie Tang fan”

If these allegations are correct, Paul Murray joins a long list of caucasian Australian male professionals – including every single Greens staffer under the age of 40, as well as every single man that works in the tech start-up industry – who claim to be way more into Wu-Tang than their friends are.
