In the video announcement, the daring musician suggested creating a completely naked Udyr skin, which they jokingly dubbed Nudyr. Riot Games and Lil Nas X have announced a prestige skin for a brand new League of Legends champion, "K'Sante the Pride of Nazumah," so hopefully, that previous idea of a League of Legends skin was just for fun.
