Fans could well see Diamonds hitmaker RiRi at matches
SHE famously sang about an umbrella – and it seems Rihanna may need one handy for watching some rainy footie games.
I can reveal the Bajan singer’s US rapper boyfriend A$AP Rocky is set to buy into League Two club Tranmere Rovers.

He is part of an investment group headed by celebrity lawyer Joe Tacopina who is fronting the takeover bid.
I’m told the group is set to buy 80 per cent of the Birkenhead-based club, owned by former FA chief Mark Palios, for around £15million.
I also hear rumours that a Disney+ style Welcome To Wrexham documentary about Tranmere could be commissioned for a TV streaming giant.
So fans could well see Diamonds hitmaker RiRi at matches — taking a cue from Blake Lively whose husband Ryan Reynolds bought Wrexham FC with fellow Hollywood star Rob McElhenney in 2020.
The deal comes as New York-based Tacopina defends Rocky on two charges of allegedly shooting childhood pal and fellow rapper A$AP Relli.
A trial is scheduled to take place in Los Angeles later this month. Rocky, who has sons Rza and Riot with RiRi, has pleaded not guilty to two charges of assault with a semi-automatic firearm.
A source told me: “Rocky is tight with Joe and has committed to the Tranmere bid.
“Joe has been to Tranmere matches and Rocky has plans to go over too after the deal is completed.

“We may even see Rihanna watching League Two football.”
Tacopina plans to use his celeb pals to increase interest in the club in the US, which would boost its value should he decide to later sell.
He has watched the transformation of Wrexham from non-league to the top of League One under the ownership of A-listers Ryan and Rob.
My source added: “Joe thinks Tranmere — a famous club, near to Liverpool — is undervalued and that by clever marketing and celebrity endorsement he can transform it. With the likes of Rocky on board, maybe so.”
