A growing cadre of American celebrities, athletes and investors have taken minority or majority stakes in European soccer clubs in recent years — a trend that has reshaped the global football landscape and raised the profiles of both investors and historic teams.

Snoop Dogg has purchased a stake in the EFL Champion club Swansea City, joining several other American celebrities as soccer owners, including LeBron James and Tom Brady.

Tom Gorringe, the Swansea City CEO seems delighted to have the one-time gangsta rapper on board at the West Coast (of the UK) club: “It is very exciting for us as a football club to formally welcome Snoop Dogg as a co-owner and investor into Swansea City.”
