Snoop Dogg has purchased a minority stake in Bivouac, a team a part of Ice Cube’s BIG3 basketball league.
According to a press release, Snoop Dogg joined venture capitalist and co-founder of PayPal Ken Howery to buy 25 Fire-Tier editions of Bivouac. While Snoop Dogg can officially celebrate becoming a team owner, he hinted at it in a video clip posted in late April by Ice Cube on Twitter.
