Russell Brand: 'Diddy, Eminem And Lil Wayne Should Buy West Ham'

Russell Brand has called for P Diddy to buy West Ham and head up a consortium including Eminem and Lil Wayne.

The comedian and lifelong Hammers fan said he wanted the rapper to invest after he pulled out of buying fellow London club Crystal Palace.

"He should buy West Ham," Brand told Shortlist magazine.

"We could do with some money and an intense, dominant chairman.

"We could have P Diddy has chairman, Lil' Waybe as manager, Eminem as head first-team coach and Ray Clemence in charge of goalkeepers - you can't muck about with what's at the back."

Earlier this month, Diddy confirmed that he had asked his associates to look at Palace's finances.

But the rapper said he decided against buying because “it just wasn't the right business move for me at the time”.

However, he added that he hadn't ruled out investing in another club in the future as he continues to build his business empire.

Brand and Diddy both star in the new movie, Get Him To The Greek.
