Snoop Dogg buys stake in Welsh football club

Snoop Dogg has become co-owner of Championship side Swansea City in an unlikely alliance between the world of rap and football, the Welsh club announced. The 53-year-old American star joins former Real Madrid stalwart and Croatia World Cup finalist Luka Modric in the club's ownership structure. Snoop Dogg made a surprise appearance on the club's social media channels last week modelling their new home jersey for the 2025-26 season and the club announced on Thursday that he has become an investor. His involvement comes after American businessmen Brett Cravatt and Jason Cohen took over the club last November. Swansea will hope that Snoop Dogg, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, can use his 100 million-plus social media followers to boost the club's profile as they seek to return to the Premier League for the first time since they were relegated in 2018. Swansea's owners have said they want to generate greater revenue, which would allow them to invest more in new players under the profit and sustainability rules in British football. The 53-year-old rapper said on the club's website: "My love of football is well known, but it feels special to me that I make my move into club ownership with Swansea City. "The story of the club and the area really struck a chord with me. This is a proud, working class city and club. An underdog that bites back, just like me. "I'm proud to be part of Swansea City." Swansea announced in April that Modric, who this week joined AC Milan at the age of 39 after leaving Real Madrid, had acquired a stake in the club. "To borrow a phrase from Snoop's back catalogue, this announcement is the next episode for Swansea City as we seek to create new opportunities to boost the club's reach and profile," Swansea's owners said in a statement. "Snoop's colossal global fanbase and audience will certainly help us do that, and he has made clear to us throughout this process just how excited he is at the prospect of joining the club. "Snoop has openly shared his love of football and his desire to be involved in the game and we expect his involvement to support us putting as competitive a team as possible out on the field." Swansea's Welsh rivals Wrexham have achieved a meteoric rise to the Championship – the second-tier of English football – since Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney purchased the club in 2020.

Snoop Dogg teams up with Universal Pictures for biopic chronicling career and Death Row legacy

Global entertainment icon Snoop Dogg is set to bring his life story to the big screen through a newly announced biopic, developed in collaboration with Universal Pictures and NBCUniversal, as reported on April 23, 2025. The project is a centerpiece of a larger multi-year partnership between Snoop's Death Row Pictures and NBCUniversal, covering ventures in film, television, sports, and streaming. Snoop, born Calvin Broadus Jr., expressed enthusiasm for the deal, praising NBCUniversal's support and describing the collaboration as a 'perfect marriage.' Donna Langley, Chairman of NBCUniversal Entertainment & Studios, emphasized the uniqueness of the partnership, stating, "There's only one Snoop." The biopic, which had been teased following Snoop's 2022 acquisition of Death Row Records, is now actively in development. The screenplay is being written by Joe Robert Cole, known for his work on Black Panther. Snoop himself will produce alongside Oscar-winner Brian Grazer (8 Mile, A Beautiful Mind) and Sara Ramaker, President of Death Row Pictures. While Allen Hughes was initially attached to direct, a new director has yet to be confirmed. Casting is currently underway, with the production team searching for a new actor to embody the legendary rapper. Beyond the film, Snoop's broader deal includes his return as a coach on NBC's The Voice for Season 28 and follows his notable coverage of the 2024 Paris Olympics for NBC. He also starred in E!'s docuseries Snoop's Fatherhood: Cori and Wayne's Story.
