New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft showed public support for Diddy when the Hip Hop mogul expressed interest in buying the NFL’s Carolina Panthers in 2017. The six-time Super Bowl winner doubled down on his opinion on Saturday (February 2), saying he still believes Diddy should own an NFL team.
TMZ Sports asked Kraft if the Bad Boy Records founder would ever be an owner at Philadelphia 76ers co-owner Michael Rubin’s pre-Super Bowl party in Atlanta.
“I hope so,” Kraft said. “I’m a big fan of his.”
Hours later, TMZ Sports asked Diddy about the prospect of becoming an owner outside of Atlanta’s Magic City strip club.
“It’s time,” he said.
Kraft’s word carries a lot of weight in the NFL, but he’s also powerful outside of the league. The business magnate and Rubin were among Meek Mill’s supporters lobbying for his prison release in 2018.
The three recently joined forces with JAY-Z, Brooklyn Nets co-owner Clara Wu Tsai and several other partners to announce their criminal justice reform initiative in January.

of course he does. the nfl is falling apart and black people are boycotting it. he would love nothing more than a black owner to come along. he doesnt give a fuck about diddy, or meek mill.
the masses need to be more keen of pandering
Wasn’t it a 15 billion dollar industry last year? I don’t think it’s quite falling apart.
He’ll be the first gay NFL team owner in history.
All the white racist owners before him are also gay
10 million to a black athlete every yr is racism? Sign me up for them racist checks!! Clowns
No….we don’t need anymore over the top bafoonery in the NFL…..Name one property outside of the typical gay triumph of alcohol and fashion that has actually been successful….name one Bad Boy Artist Alive that is still relevant or actual has talent….name one…….I wait….none…. everyone that is associated with him experience what is called a downward spiral.
I’m tired of this goofy nonsense with these dudes getting patted on the head like puppies and fronting for the public. This dude don’t have nowhere near enough money to own an NFL team. Everything he’s ever “owned” has been a small percentage of a large white corporation that was given to him by white people. This is a joke.
Sorry but with diddy’s resume and track record, plus with him flip flopping between owning a team and sponsoring an alternative league, he should not be taken seriously….
Yeah. Diddy isn’t a billionaire. In real finance (white folks, ie., you actually OWN what you claim is yours), he hasn’t made it half way. He sure has these illiterate hood rat morons fooled though. He probably has a credit card coming out, or some shit. Whaddup Russel?
Diddy owns a charter school. Fuck him. He’s part of the problem with education in this country.
What State needs a new NFL Football team? Alabama , Maine , South & North Dakota , Hawaii , New Mexico , Oregon , Washington the State , just to name few it’s time !
Diddy will never own a team on the simple basis of a dream. He could be a partial owner. His personality is bigger than life, so he talks about dream business deals preemptively, and has the hiphop community eating his words up. Don’t you think if it were that simple, every rich opportunist would own one? Why would someone else give up their stake in a billionaire industry so Puff Daddy can partially own it? It’s a rare moment that someone on this site thinks logically.
NFL OWNERS ARE THER BIGGEST KKK-ERS..NOPE NOT HAPPENING
Yeah. The way the refuse to hire people of color and then don’t pay them adequately. Wait, it’s actually the extreme opposite of that. 90% of the players are black and they are RIDICULOUSLY overpaid. Moron.
I don’t like puffy daddy either. He sold out hip hop by over sampling hit records. Plus, i’m not fond of him pushing alcohol for money. Let’s be real the nfl looked bad for making the black players stand up during the anthem. This is a just publicity stunt by owners. Kraft is a supporter of trump. He wants to save face among the black players. Kraft is not serious. If kraft was serious, he would find a respectable businessman to promote. Puffy is a clown. Nfl owners do not want black ownership. It’s hard enough to get a black head coaching and gm jobs.
Diddly loooooves him some men. All flavors, chocolate, light skinded don’t matter. You got the mouth, you got the clout. Diddy for president.
Kraft is not serious. He’s just trying to save face. Kraft and the other owners made the black players stand up during the anthem. Puffy is a front because owners don’t even want black gms, head coaches and players.
I have one name… “Rube Foster.”
Thank me later!!
