A growing cadre of American celebrities, athletes and investors have taken minority or majority stakes in European soccer clubs in recent years — a trend that has reshaped the global football landscape and raised the profiles of both investors and historic teams.

Snoop Dogg has purchased a stake in the EFL Champion club Swansea City, joining several other American celebrities as soccer owners, including LeBron James and Tom Brady.

Snoop Dogg says he's proud to be the new co-owner of the Swansea City soccer team, because it's an "underdog that bites back, just like me."
