Storm is one of a handful of female characters in Marvel Rivals with just one Legendary skin, and the pushback around this fact has become so great that even rapper Sexyy Red is speaking up about it.

Marvel Rivals published a statement to its official social media profiles on October 15 that outlined its plans to improve moderation regarding speech violations from players. And while this post sparked its own debate among the game’s fanbase, it prompted a request of a different kind from 'Sticky' rapper Sexyy Red.

In a quote-retweet, Sexyy Red asked the official Marvel Rivals account when Storm is finally getting another Legendary skin, writing, “When y’all gon give Storm her legendary skin?”

Fans, of course, were mostly stunned that Sexyy Red plays Marvel Rivals, while others joined in on her request for more Storm costumes from the devs at NetEase and Marvel Games.

Both teams are well-aware of the discussion surrounding Storm’s Legendary skins (or lack thereof), as they directly acknowledged the matter in a post back in August. Players will likely remember this moment, as it came less than 24 hours after the debut of Storm’s swimsuit skin, Sacred Skies, which was listed as an Epic skin at the time.

Many fans expressed dismay that, out of all the other female characters included in the swimsuit lineup, Storm’s Sacred Skies skin was the only one that wasn’t a Legendary. Shortly afterwards, the Marvel Rivals Twitter/X account revealed its decision to upgrade the skin to a Legendary for free in direct response to player feedback.
