Monday,
October 21, 2024 -American rapper, A$AP Rocky is reportedly set to
buy EFL Club Tranmere Rovers.
The 36-year-old, who is in a relationship with pop
superstar Rihanna, is said to be part of an investment group headed up by
celebrity lawyer Joe Tacopina for the project.
Tacopina, Donald Trump's former representative, has reportedly been
in talks with the League Two side for over six months over an 80 percent stake
worth £15million.
The proposed takeover is awaiting regulatory approval from the EFL and
Rocky is likely to attend games at Prenton Park once the deal has been
confirmed.
A source told the Sun's on Sunday's Bizarre column: 'Rocky is
tight with Joe and has committed to the Tranmere bid. Joe has been to Tranmere
matches and Rocky has plans to go over too after the deal is completed.
‘We may even see Rihanna watching League Two football.’
'Joe thinks Tranmere - a famous club, near to Liverpool - is undervalued
and that by clever marketing and celebrity endorsement he can transform it,'
the source said.
‘With the likes of Rocky on board, maybe so...’
Rap sensation Rocky, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, shares two children with Rihanna - RZA, who is two, and 15-month-old Riot Rose.
