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 β€œour own” league where black players could express themselves however they saw fit.

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

C’mon. Freedom of speech and a better retirement plan? What’s not to love here?

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

Forbes estimated Diddy’s net worth at $820 million earlier this year. The magazine noted that he was β€œclosing in” 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 can’t buy the entire league, but I do know the D(iddy)FL could take my money. At least it’d have a national anthem that slaps.
