Add as a preferred source on Google Trick Williams revealed that Lil Yachty went far beyond simply presenting his custom version of the WWE United States Championship on SmackDown. The rapper reportedly played a direct role in creating the title.
Called the “Legacy Fur Edition,” the title features a strap covered in white fur, matching the traditional coats Williams wears during his ring entrances.
In a recent interview with Bleacher Report, Williams gave all the credit to his friend and manager:
“Yachty said he wanted to do something a little special. Shout out to my boy Yachty, taking the time and doing his job. Some perceive him as my creative director, my personal producer to make sure that all things are fit for entertainment consumption to a very, very high level. He said, ‘Trick, we need a title that’s gonna fit you. We’re gonna get you your very own legacy title.’ So, he hand-directed and sculpted the title himself and it’s a work of art. It’s beautiful.”
Williams won the United States Championship on April 19, on night two of WrestleMania 42, defeating Sami Zayn with Lil Yachty by his side. This is the first reign with the title for the former NXT Champion.
Just hours after the new design was revealed, a replica of the “Legacy Fur Edition” title went on sale on WWE Shop.
