The song is called “STAR WALKIN'” and will debut on September 23, just before Worlds kicks off in Mexico City, Mexico on September 23. Lil Nas X will also be working cooperatively to design a custom prestige skin for the new League of Legends champion, K’Sante the Pride of Nazumah. The presidential duties of Lil Nas X will conclude with him performing live at the opening ceremony for Worlds, which will lead into the final on Saturday, November 5.

“I felt like it was time for me to try something new. I’ve left my mark on pop culture in so many ways, and now it’s time to take on the world of gaming. 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!” said Lil Nas X. “STAR WALKIN’ is the only song anyone is allowed to listen to from now on. Swag fr!”

Becoming the president of League of Legends isn’t Lil Nas X’s first step into the world of video games. He and furry fighting game legend Sonic Fox are mutual fans of each other, often exchanging tweets and buying each others’ merchandise.
