ASAP Rocky, renowned rapper and partner to pop icon Rihanna, is reportedly involved in a bid to take over Tranmere Rovers Football Club. The venture is part of an investment group led by Joe Tacopina, a prominent lawyer with a background in such acquisitions, focusing on the League Two club based in Liverpool.
The initiative has attracted attention due to the potential involvement of Rocky, as his celebrity status could considerably elevate the club’s profile. Unconfirmed reports suggest that following this acquisition, there might be a Disney+ documentary mirroring the success of ‘Welcome to Wrexham’, which documented Hollywood stars Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds’ experiences with Wrexham AFC.
A reliable source claims, “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,” indicating a high-profile involvement from Rocky and potentially Rihanna.
Joe Tacopina believes Tranmere Rovers is undervalued and that the club could thrive with strategic marketing and celebrity engagement. His confidence in turning the club’s fortunes around is shared by many, particularly with the backing of personalities like ASAP Rocky.
According to ASAP Rocky himself, despite their hectic schedules, his relationship with Rihanna is thriving, suggesting both their personal and professional lives are well-aligned with such ventures. He was quoted in Billboard saying, “I don’t think there’s a more perfect person because when the schedules are hectic, she’s very understanding of that.” This understanding could prove beneficial if the acquisition proceeds.
The prospective acquisition of Tranmere Rovers by ASAP Rocky’s investment group highlights the growing trend of celebrity involvement in football.
