The Seattle Kraken have added two minority investors in former Seattle Seahawks star Marshawn Lynch and Seattle-born rapper Macklemore.

Terms of the investment, which was announced Monday, were not disclosed. Forbes most recently valued the Kraken at an estimated $875 million.

"This is something I never would have imagined," Lynch, who played seven of his 13 NFL seasons in Seattle, told CNBC in a statement.
