When P Diddy sees an opportunity, he seizes it.

In the past, Diddy has made it known that he wants to buy the entire NFL, but now he's voiced a perhaps more realistic ambition: purchasing the Carolina Panthers.

The rapper announced his plans less than an hour after owner Jerry Richardson announced on Sunday he would sell the franchise he started, following sexual misconduct allegations.

Diddy tweeted to make his ambitions to buy the Carolina Panthers known: "I would like to buy the @Panthers. Spread the word. Retweet!"

But Diddy's plans don't end there: the 48-year-old wants to not only 'make history' as the only African American owner in the league, he'd also want to sign Colin Kaepernick.

I would be a big win for Diddy, and Kaepernick who is a free agent right now.

Diddy including Kaepernick in his bid is likely to sweeten the deal.

Being inspired by Kaepernick is something that made him reevaluate his NFL dreams. He tweeted,"There are no majority African American NFL owners. Let's make history."

Diddy hasn't been quiet about his fandom for Kaepernick, either.

The rap legend posted a photo of his appreciation for the quarterback on Twitter in November.

Diddy added: "I did have a dream to own a NFL team but now my dream is to own our own league! A league where you can be yourself. Have a retirement plan. Have freedom to be a great human and protest for your people without being demonised for your beliefs as a KING!"
