Music often intertwines with sports, as we’ve seen in Super Bowl halftime shows, pre-game performances, star-studded attendances and more. However, some musicians take their love for a sport a step further by buying a percentage of ownership of their favorite teams.

Most recently, Tems joined the San Diego Football Club’s ownership group as a club partner through her company The Leading Vibe, becoming the first African woman to be involved in MLS ownership. “I am thrilled to join San Diego FC’s ownership group and to be part of a club that celebrates creativity, culture and the power of community,” the “Me & U” singer said in a press release following the announcement. “Football has a unique way of bringing people together, and I am excited to help build something special in San Diego, a city that thrives on diversity and innovation.”

Tems is hardly be the first musician to dip her toes in sports ownership.T he trend of music stars owning percentages in sports teams stretches back throughout the 2000s, with artists like Nelly, Justin Timberlake, Jay-Z, Jennifer Lopez, Usher and more taking part in the athletic world. Many artists ponying up six figures or more for even a measly percentage of team ownership.

“Sports is entertainment. There is crossover at every level,” Mark Cuban, who sold his majority stake in the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks, previously told Billboard, but it’s “no different than any business,” he noted, adding, “If it’s not well run [and] customers aren’t happy, you can lose a lot of money.”
