Lil Nas X Is Apparently the President of League of Legends

Lil Nas X seems to be the best candidate for this position since he is very well known, widely adored, and very meme-worthy.

Dear Gamers,

So picture this! While I was eating breakfast this morning, I started scrolling through TikTok.

I came across a video posted by the official League of Legends page beginning with a title stating, “3 WEEKS BEFORE WORLDS.”

I thought to myself, “hmm, they must be doing something special for the LoL world championships.”

What they were doing was, in fact, very special and unexpected. The video continued with Lil Nas X stating:

“I guess part of me wanted to try something new. I left my step on pop music. I left my step on culture. So now, I decided to be the new president of League of Legends. You can call me Lil Nas X-ecutive. See I’m funny too.”

Let me explain what’s actually going on here.

Lil Nas X will be creating “explosive musical moments, an ingenious League champion skin, and a spectacular live Worlds performance for the 180+ million monthly players and fans in the League universe.”

He will be doing all this starting with the 2022 League of Legends world championships. Clearly, this “President” position is somewhat of a marketing strategy for League of Legends.

Lil Nas X seems to be the best candidate for this position since he is very well known, widely adored, and very meme-worthy.

He also has experience in the gaming world from when he worked with Roblox on a concert that was viewed by 33 million players.

Recently, Riot has begun sharing aspects of the collaboration on social media.

One of which will include a new song by Lil Nas X titled Star Walkin’, which will be the “anthem” of the tournament.

Lil Nas X stated:

“I will be the greatest President of League of Legends of all time. Also, I’m going to make the best Worlds anthem of all time and put on the biggest, coolest, sexiest Worlds in the history of all Worlds! STAR WALKIN’ is the only song anyone is allowed to listen to from now on. Swag fr!”

Star Walkin’ will be released on the 23rd of September.

This is just a week before the world championships begin on the 28th of September. After all this, on the 3rd of November, there will be a new skin available for the League champion named K’Sante, the Pride of Nazumah.

This new prestige skin is also designed by Lil Nas X.Unfortunately, this skin is not purchasable.

The only way to obtain it is by earning 2000 ‘Worlds 2022 tokens’ during the tournament, which can be done in a few different ways.

The best news of all, though, is that Lil Nas X will perform on stage during the Worlds Opening Ceremony, which will lead to the World Final on the 5th of November.

This is honestly a really cool way to market the League of Legends world championships, in my opinion.

I will defiantly be watching Lil Nas X’s performance on Twitch on the 5th of November. Here’s a link to this TikTok video:
