In 2023, rapper and occasional actor Eminem lent his likeness to Fortnite for three different skins based on his different personas. That was just a small blip in Eminem’s two-decade-plus career as an entertainer. But the rapper was recently recognized as “the guy from Fortnite.”
The Eminem Bible shared the video on X, and the rapper himself had a great response. Eminem simply cracked up at the joke, and the fan immediately admitted that he was only kidding.
Eminem returned to Fortnite last year as Epic Games debuted the Mythic RG Minigun. This weapon could actually shoot bullets and drop Eminem’s music and lyrics in tune to the gun’s rate of fire. Eminem was also featured in the star-studded concert event that closed out Fortnite Remix Chapter 2 alongside Snoop Dogg, Ice Spice, and a tribute to the late rapper Juice WRLD.
Although Eminem hasn’t made many video game appearances, his music has been used to promote titles before, including the launch trailer for Final Fantasy 15 and the soundtrack for WWE 2K19. In 2022, Kirk Ewing shared a story about a Hollywood producer approaching Rockstar Games about a Grand Theft Auto movie starring Eminem and directed by Top Gun helmer Tony Scott. According to Ewing, Rockstar’s Sam Houser turned down the pitch.
As for Fortnite, some of the game’s next collaborations include the Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers, and potentially Friday the 13’s Jason Voorhees and Scream’s Ghostface.
