Rocky’s name has been linked with the takeover at Tranmere by Donald Trump’s former lawyer Joe Tacopina, who has previously been involved at Roma, Bologna and Venezia before buying Serie C side SPAL.
ASAP Rocky’s acquittal on gun charges in the United States has removed one of the potential barriers to his involvement in a takeover of League Two side Tranmere.
However, Tacopina’s latest ownership vehicle has not been without issues and he was suspended for three months last year for a late payment violation by the Italian club and the subsequent investigation into that has probably resulted in more of a delay in progressing his plans for Tranmere.
In October Tranmere chairman Mark Palios suggested ASAP Rocky’s involvement would bring a sprinkling of stardust to the club but was not essential.
The 36-year-old rapper, boyfriend of singer Rihanna, was found not guilty on two felony counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm in a 2021 row with a former friend.
