Snoop Dogg "aggressively" battling Wrexham owner Ryan Reynolds to buy sports team

Snoop Dogg Ryan Reynolds Neko Sparks NHL Senators Hockey

Another US celebrity has plans to venture into sports team ownership and is currently embroiled in a battle with Ryan Reynolds.

Iconic rapper and actor Snoop Dogg reportedly has plans to become a co-owner of NHL team Ottawa Senators, who are currently up for sale. The 51-year-old has confirmed he has joined Neko Sparks’ ownership group which is keen to acquire the franchise. However, they face stiff competition from a rival bid set to be led by the Deadpool star and co-owner of the recently-promoted Wrexham AFC, who expressed his interest in buying the Senators last November.

Co-led by real estate mogul Christopher Bratty, Reynolds is reportedly part of an mega $1billion bid for both the Senators and their home arena the Canadian Tire Centre. Snoop Dogg wrote on Instagram that he is excited to be in with a chance of owning the sports team, and he also has another objective in mind.
