Eminem In Talks To Join Bid For WNBA Franchise

The WNBA could be adding a bit of mom’s spaghetti flavor to it in the near future … TMZ Sports has learned Eminem is currently in talks to join a bid for an expansion team.

A spokesperson for the legendary rapper tells us … Marshall has had some preliminary discussions about securing a spot in an ownership group that’s trying to bring the W back to Detroit.

So far, we’re told he hasn’t officially signed on just yet … although, he does apparently have some big interest.

The WNBA currently features 13 teams … but in 2026, it’ll have 15 — when Portland and Toronto join the fold. In 2027, the league is looking to add at least one more squad … and Detroit’s already submitted its proposal to be a pick. Jared Goff, Grant Hill and Chris Webber all reportedly helping lead the charge for MoTown.

There, of course, is some stiff competition … Austin, Charlotte, Cleveland and Houston, among others, are all in the running too — as is Kansas City, which has the backing of Patrick Mahomes.

WNBA commish Cathy Engelbert will have to make the choice at some point in the upcoming year or so … but perhaps her decision would get a little easier if Em’s in the fray?
