Three of the most famous rappers in the world are sett o become skins in the new Call of Duty.

The franchise, that’s no stranger to celebrity crossovers, announced Thursday that both Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone will be getting three Operator skins featuring Snoop Dogg, Nicki Minaj, and 21 Savage.

While Snoop’s inclusion will delight many a rap fan, the Doggfather is no stranger to the game. He has already appeared as a skin in the series, as has TMNT’s The Shredder, John McClane from Die Hard and Inter Miami’s Lionel Messi.

Snoop was included in a bundle for Call of Duty: Vanguard, so his return isn’t unexpected.

While Snoop and Nicki have officially been confirmed as the Season 5 update is set to drop on August 2, 21 Savage has not.

The official season roadmap, Comicbook reported, only lists the third unknown star as a “Classified” rapper who will appear some time during the season. They’ve only revealed a silhouette of the rapper.

However, the ModernWarzone Twitter news account claims it is going to be 21 Savage.

While Comicbook suggested it was hard to be sure who the rapper is from the silhouette, it suggested 21 Savage does line up nicely and the news was likely to be accurate.

Comicbook also noted that the new operator skins coming to Warzone and MW2 will allow players to use them in Modern Warfare 3 when it launches, potentially making it an easier purchase, depending on the cost.

As well as the ‘History of Hip Hop’ skins, Call of Duty fans will also get new events, modes, and weapons to shake things up and a new battle pass to work through containing all kinds of new cosmetics.
