Welsh Championship club Swansea City announced the American rapper has joined their ownership group alongside former Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric. The 53-year-old artist, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, surprised fans by modeling the team's new jersey on social media channels last week. American businessmen Brett Cravatt and Jason Cohen acquired the club last November and brought both celebrities into the investment structure. The organization seeks to leverage the rapper's massive social media following of over 100 million users to increase global visibility.

Swansea aims to return to Premier League competition after relegation in 2018 forced them into the second tier. The new ownership group plans to generate additional revenue streams that will allow greater player investment under British football's profit and sustainability regulations. Modric joined the ownership structure in April before transferring to AC Milan this week at age 39. The Welsh club hopes to replicate the success of rival Wrexham, which achieved rapid promotion after Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney purchased the team in 2020.
