When news of Jerry Richardson‘s, the owner of the Carolina Panthers, departure hit the web (he’s being accused of workplace misconduct), Diddy immediately put his bid in for the job. Watch below.

And he didn’t stop there. The 48-year-old music mogul took to Twitter to further plead his case.

There are no majority African American NFL owners. Let’s make history.

Diddy’s enthusiasm was met with interest in Charlotte, North Carolina native Steph Curry.

I️ want in! https://t.co/XvvC1vo7xI

Could this really happen (Diddy’s estimated net worth is $820 million while Curry’s is a reported $65 million)? Time will tell, but the possibility of it all leaves up pretty hopeful.

TELL US: Good move or should the two invest in an all-black league?
