Eminem is in conversations to be part of a possible group of property of the WNBA, according to a report.
The WNBA will debut a franchise in Golden State this year, two more in Toronto and Portland next year, and seeks to take the number of franchises in the League until 1628, he said.
A possible city to obtain that 16th team is the hometown of Eminem, Detroit and TMz reported that the rapper has had discussions about participating in the property group that tries to launch a WNBA franchise in Motor City.
The report cited a 52 -year -old artist spokesman, who is also a well -known fan of the Detroit Lions.
Detroit's offer is currently led by the owner of the Pistons, Tom Gores, and includes Sheila Ford Hamp and her husband, the main owners of the Detroit Lions, the CEO of General Motors Company and Basketball Hall of Famer Grant Hill.
If Eminem officially becomes part of Detroit's offer, he would face severe competition from other cities that try to get a WNBA franchise as well.
