One of the owners of Tranmere Rovers FC has raised the possibility that A$AP Rocky could be involved in a potential future acquisition of the club. The team’s owner made this comment.
In recent days, there have been reports that Rakim Athelaston Mayers, a well-known rapper who is also a member of the A$AP mafia and is known as A$AP Rocky, may be on the verge of obtaining a share in the League Two team. Mayers is also known by his stage name, A$AP Rocky.
Rocky, who was a member of an American investment company run by attorney Joe Tacopina, was reportedly seeking to purchase a specific amount of ownership in the club, according to a report that surfaced earlier this week.
The Sun on Sunday first reported that Rocky and his gang were considering paying $15 million (£11.6 million) to acquire about 80% of the club with its headquarters in Birkenhead. The Sun first made this information public.
Mark Palios, who once served as the head of the FA, and his wife are currently joint owners of the team. During an interview that took place on Thursday with Sky News, Mr. Palios made a passing reference to the prospect of negotiations taking place between all of the parties involved, including himself and Rocky’s company.
“You’ll understand, I’m covered by non-disclosure agreements, not just with Joe Tacopina, who is related to A$AP Rocky, but with other parties who are looking at the club,” he noted in response to the question of which song by A$AP Rocky he enjoys listening to the most. Joe Tacopina is related to A$AP Rocky.
In my opinion, the American market is currently experiencing a high level of activity for a variety of reasons, and I would say that it is prepared to move forward.
Also, there are 85 million individuals in the United States who follow English football, 45 million of whom are not loyal to any single side. This is a significant number.
The speaker said, “You also have the Wrexham effect,” referring to the phenomenon. As a result, it is an idea that is appealing, and I, of course, believe that Tranmere is providing something that is appealing to customers.
Mr. Tacopina, who had previously represented former President of the United States Donald Trump, had been in contact with the club for a lengthy amount of time up to that point.
While he was on the phone with them, Mr. Palios expressed his wish to get a contract concluded “as soon as possible.”
In addition, Mr. Tacopina indicated that he had defended Rocky in a case that involved an alleged assault and that the case was postponed until January. Specifically, this declaration was made on Instagram.
The takeover would be comparable to the last takeover of Wrexham, which was carried out by Hollywood celebrities Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney and was extensively videotaped. If the takeover is successful, it would be identical to that takeover.
Both of the persons were able to successfully complete the acquisition of the North Wales squad in the month of February in the year 2201. As a consequence of this, they went on to develop a documentary series about their management of the club, which led to a series of promotions.
