The Weeknd is gunning for eSports supremacy — buying an ownership stake in one of Canada’s biggest gaming franchises, TMZ Sports has learned.
The singer is now a part-owner of OverActive Media — which has teams competing in League of Legends, Overwatch, Call of Duty and more.
In fact, OAM’s Overwatch team, the Toronto Defiant, is one of the top-ranked teams on the planet. OAM also owns Splyce, which competes in LoL.
“As a big esports fan, I am really excited to be involved in this project,” The Weeknd said in a statement … noting he will collaborate with OAM in “unique and innovative ways.”
The Weeknd is just the latest mainstream star to buy into an eSports franchise — following Michael Jordan, Drake, Magic Johnson and Rick Fox.
The big question now … when are these guys all gonna pick up the sticks and compete against each other?!
