Eminem is lending his star power to a growing effort to bring a WNBA franchise to Detroit. According to _[Sportico](https://www.sportico.com/leagues/basketball/2025/eminem-detroit-wnba-expansion-gores-1234842759/)_, the rapper has joined a high-profile group of bidders advocating for the league’s expansion into his hometown.

The bid, led by Detroit Pistons owner Tom Gores, includes key figures across the city’s sports landscape—owners from the Tigers, Red Wings, and Lions, former NBA stars Grant Hill and Chris Webber, Lions QB Jared Goff, and General Motors CEO Mary Barra.

While Eminem and the Pistons have not officially made any statements, sources suggest the group is serious, with potential bids rumored to involve nine-figure offers. If approved, the WNBA team would share Little Caesars Arena with the Pistons and Red Wings.
