Rapper Birdman, a Miami Dolphins limited partner to be? That’s news to the Dolphins
Rapper Birdman, whose non-stage name is Bryan Williams, says he’s close to getting approval from the NFL to become a limited partner in the Miami Dolphins. That’s what he told Angela Yee's Morning After show on Sirius satellite radio.
But that’s news to the NFL and Dolphins majority owner Steve Ross:
"I have NEVER spoken to him or any representative," Ross said in an email Monday evening. "Not considering or looking for any celebrity limited partners."
Birdman is co-founder of Cash Money Records and has collaborated with Lil Wayne. According to reports, in 2007 he was arrested and charged with marijuana possession.
On Yee’s radio show, Birdman says he wants to join the Dolphins’ array of musical and celebrity limited partners.
“We’re waiting. You have to get the clearance from the NFL,” Birdman is heard saying. “We’re waiting on the clearance. Once we get cleared, we’re good.”
But he also says he’s interested potentially in baseball and basketball teams.
Hmmmm.
