Valorant is a popular first-person shooter with an impressive lineup of agents and a powerful collection of weapons.

After the Zedd x Valorant that happened last year, Soulja Boy’s collection may be the second celebrity collaboration. However, it’s still just a leak and incredibly difficult to confirm at this moment.

According to the leaker, sources have revealed the name of the Vandal skin to be ‘Draco’. As fans may already know, Soulja Boy is nicknamed himself Big Draco after his favorite mini Draco AR-IS pistol.

Coming from a Counter Strike: Global Offensive background, the popular musician decided to give Valorant a try during its initial months and has never looked back since! He also considers the duelist Phoenix to be his look-alike. Truly, the similarity cannot be overlooked.

It will be interesting to see how this rapper collaboration turns out if at all true. But, all these are still just unverified leaks that should be taken with a grain of salt!
