A$AP, the rapper and Rihanna's partner is a member of a group of investors that is prepared to purchase 80% of the club. According to reports, A$AP Rocky plans to pay over £15 million to acquire EFL League Two team Tranmere Rovers.
The 36-year-old musician, who is well-known for songs such as "Praise the Lord" as well as his well-publicized romance with pop sensation Rihanna, is a member of an investment company run by Joe Tacopina, a celebrity lawyer. For more than six months, Tacopina, who has experience owning football clubs, has been talking over an 80 percent share in Tranmere.
One source reported that, “Rocky is tight with Joe and has committed to the Tranmere bid. Joe has attended Tranmere matches, and Rocky plans to join him once the deal is finalized. We may even see Rihanna watching League Two football!”
Although the English Football League's (EFL) regulatory permission of the potential takeover is still pending, insiders say Rocky is keen to get involved with the team. He is anticipated to attend games at Tranmere's home field, Prenton Park, after the contract is finalized. Rocky's membership in the club might provide Tranmere with a special kind of celebrity support that could change her luck.
Can A$AP Rocky bring about a story like Wrexham?
A documentary on Rocky's endeavor would pique supporters' interest and highlight the club's journey, much like the accomplishments of the Disney+ documentary program "Welcome to Wrexham," which tracked stars from Hollywood Rob McElhenney as well as Ryan Reynolds as they renovated the Welsh club.
A$AP Rocky, the real name of whom is Rakim Mayers, and Rihanna have two kids together, which gives his possible dedication to the club's neighborhood a personal touch. Given his track record of success in Italian football, Tacopina views Tranmere Rovers as a fantastic opportunity. As a former owner of Serie A teams like Venezia and SPAL, he has a history of taking underperforming clubs and turning them around.
