Hip-hop stars to compete in new basketball series 'The Crew League'

The worlds of hip-hop and basketball will collide in a new unscripted competition series called "The Crew League."

Launched by Sean "Diddy" Combs and Revolt TV, the show will feature Swae Lee, Jack Harlow, Russ, Lil Mosey, Lil Keed, G Herbo, The Kid LAROI, DDG, and special guests competing in a basketball tournament for a chance to win a grand prize of $100,000. The winning team will donate 50% of their earnings to charity.

"This show was created to showcase not only the celebrity talent involved but also the 'crews' around them. The celebrities' entourages' are integral to the success of the entire group," Elie Maroun, co-founder and commissioner of "The Crew League," said in a press release. "We had the idea to create this show after a few music industry friends decided to play a couple pick-up basketball games in L.A. After playing with PARTYNEXTDOOR, The Weeknd and their teams, I realized if we were to broadcast this, people would love it! That's when 'The Crew League' was born."

New episodes of the show will premiere Fridays on Revolt's YouTube channel, beginning Feb. 19. The finale will coincide with the NBA's All-Star Weekend festivities in March.
