Sean “Diddy” Combs looking to buy Carolina Panthers and hire Colin Kaepernick
Serial entrepreneur and hip hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs has expressed interest in purchasing the Carolina Panthers so he can sign Colin Kaepernick – after the team’s current owner announced he would sell the franchise amid sexual misconduct allegations.
“I would like to buy the @Panthers. Spread the word. Retweet!” Combs wrote on Twitter Sunday evening, noting that he could become the National Football League’s first majority African American owner.
“There are now African American owners. Let’s make history.”
Combs reiterated his interest later on other social media platforms – pledging to sign Kaepernick, adding that he would let the former 49ers quarterback compete with Cam Newton for the starting position.
“I will immediately address the Colin Kaepernick situation and put him in the running for next year’s starting quarterback”, Combs said.
Combs joins NBA superstar Steph Curry in expressing interest in purchasing the team.
