Snoop Dogg is adding yet another major move to his already iconic portfolio—and this time, he’s crossing the Atlantic straight into the world of soccer.
The rap legend and business mogul has officially joined the ownership group of Welsh soccer team Swansea City AFC, confirming the news after weeks of cryptic social media hints.
In a surprising twist, Snoop is teaming up with Luka Modrić, Croatia’s World Cup finalist, to secure minority stakes in the club, marking a bold step into European football.
“My love of football is well known, but it feels special to me that I make my move into club ownership with Swansea City,” Snoop shared in a statement to AllHipHop.

“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.”
The club’s ownership echoed Snoop’s excitement, adding that his global influence is expected to elevate Swansea City’s profile and help them build a competitive edge on the field.
“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,” the owners said in their statement.
Snoop’s Global Reach Could Be a Game-Changer
Snoop’s involvement is already making waves far beyond Wales. The club revealed that a mural of Snoop has been painted in the West Stand of Swansea.com Stadium to mark his official place in the club’s ownership group.
“Snoop’s colossal global fanbase and audience will certainly help us do that,” the statement continued.
“He has made clear throughout this process just how excited he is to join the club.”
With over 80 million Instagram followers and a reputation for turning everything he touches into a cultural phenomenon, Snoop’s influence could inject new energy into the team’s fan base and merchandising.
