Ghanaian-Nigerian musician Oluwatosin Ajibade, popularly known as Mr Eazi, has become a shareholder of the basketball club Cape Town Tigers.
Taking to his official Twitter page, the musician explained that he decided to buy the shares in order to follow the footsteps of his mentor, Jay Z.
Jay-Z’s investments are well-documented and he was a co-owner of the NBA side Brooklyn Nets after buying a stake in the team.
The highly rated rapper, however, later sold his shares in the team, which he bought for $1 million in 2004.
However, according to Mr Eazi’s tweet, after reading about how Jay Z got shares in a NYC basketball team, he decided to do the same and was excited to announce being a shareholder with Came Town Tigers.
“I read that Jay-Z got shares in a NYC basketball team! So I had to do my own to ff my mentor!” Mr Eazi wrote.
“Happy to announce I am now a shareholder of @CapeTownTigers the best basketball team in Africa from now going forward! See you at the next game! Honoured to be part of the family.”

The Cape Town Tigers, based in the Gugulethu Township of Cape Town, were founded in 2019 by three American business partners and have quickly made a name for themselves in the South African basketball scene.
The team won their first national championship in 2021 and successfully defended it on August 22, 2022.
Not only do the Tigers dominate domestically in the South African National Basketball Championship, but they also represent the country internationally in the Basketball Africa League (BAL).
