Rihanna’s significant other ASAP Rocky is reportedly set to buy Tranmere Rovers Football Club.
The rapper is part of an investment group headed by celebrity lawyer Joe Tacopina which is fronting the takeover bid for the Liverpool-based League Two club.
A source told The Sun 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.”
Unconfirmed reports also claim a Disney+ documentary in the style of Welcome To Wrexham, which followed Hollywood stars Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds as they purchased Wrexham AFC in Wales, could follow the takeover. Prolific North has contacted Disney for comment.
The source added: “Joe thinks Tranmere — a famous club, near to Liverpool — is undervalued and that by clever marketing and celebrity endorsement he can transform it. With the likes of Rocky on board, maybe so.”
ASAP, real name Rakim Mayers, recently explained that despite their busy schedules, his relationship with Umbrella hitmaker Rihanna is “going great” and described her as the “perfect person” to manage such a lifestyle.
He told Billboard: “I don’t think there’s a more perfect person because when the schedules are hectic, she’s very understanding of that. And when the schedule’s freed up, that’s when you get to spend [the] most time together. It’s all understanding and compatibility.”
