The richest man in hip-hop for 2017 took to social media Wednesday to put in a bid to buy the NFL. In an Instagram post, Diddy proposed โ€œour ownโ€ league where black players could express themselves however they saw fit.

โ€œMy DREAM IS TO OWN OUR OWN LEAGUE. WHERE YOU CAN BE YOURSELF. Have a retirement plan,โ€ wrote the hip-hop mogul. โ€œHave the freedom to be a great human and protest for your people without being demonized for your beliefs as a KING!!!!!โ€

Cโ€™mon. Freedom of speech and a better retirement plan? Whatโ€™s not to love here?

Diddy, never one for subtlety, made his case again on Twitter with a simple, all-caps declaration: โ€œSELL ME THE NFL NOW!!!!โ€

Forbes estimated Diddyโ€™s net worth at $820 million earlier this year. The magazine noted that he was โ€œclosing inโ€ on 10-digit wealth thanks to his deal with Ciroc, as well as his stakes in Revolt TV, Aquahydrate (an alkaline-water brand) and DeLeon tequila.

According to the New York Daily News, the average NFL team costs about $1 billion to purchase.

Diddy clearly canโ€™t buy the entire league, but I do know the D(iddy)FL could take my money. At least itโ€™d have a national anthem that slaps.
