Eminem Eyes Ownership of Detroit WNBA Team with Star-Studded Investment Group

March 13, 2025 7

Eminem is reportedly in talks to join an ownership group aiming to bring a WNBA team to Detroit. The iconic rapper is exploring the opportunity alongside big names like NFL quarterback Jared Goff and NBA legends Grant Hill and Chris Webber. This exciting news has sparked conversations about expanding women’s basketball in the city known for its rich sports culture.

Bringing the WNBA to Detroit

According to TMZ, Eminem has held early discussions about becoming a part-owner of the potential expansion team. The WNBA, which currently has 13 teams, plans to expand to 15 by 2026. Portland and Toronto have already secured their spots. By 2028, at least one more team will join, and Detroit is making a strong case to be next.

WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert is expected to make a decision within the next year. If successful, the new team would mark Detroit’s return to the league after the Detroit Shock relocated to Tulsa (now the Dallas Wings) in 2010.
