Swizz Beatz Adds Camel-Racing to His Resume With a Whole Team

Well you don't hear this often, but Swizz Beatz is stepping out of the norm. We've heard of dog racing and horse racing, but Swizz has decided to buy some camels for a team and do camel racing. According to Variety, Swizz has a team of camels in Saudi Arabia and is not only the first African-American but the first Westerner to own a camel-racing team based in the Middle East. His team is named Kaseem Abu Nasser and is comprised of 12 fast camels. By the way, the team won its first race on Thursday in Saudi Arabia. What got him into it? Swizz said, "I had it in my mind for so long. My friends out there have teams, friends’ parents’ families in Dubai have teams. That’s how I had access to knowing what to look for, how to pick your fleet, understand the bloodline, find the best trainers. I did extensive research and was there for a month straight doing it. I had the heads-up for a while but didn’t push the button until COVID. It sounded big, amazing and a lot of work, but I just wanted to do it. It feels like it came fast, but it was a long process." He said he hasn't met his camels yet, because of COVID but he has named the team after his family members.
