There’s no doubt that Juice Wrld was one of the stars of the music industry. Unfortunately, the rapper passed away at just 21 years old after an accidental overdose in 2019. Gamers mourned his death, as he was known for befriending and enjoying various eSports icons.
However, four years after his passing, Juice Wrld might be making his first appearance in a video game thanks to Fortnite. The collaboration rumors come from the late rapper’s former manager.
Fortnite Might Soon Add Juice World Emotes To The Game
Over the years, we’ve seen Epic Games bring a bizarre list of collaborations with Fortnite in one way or another. However, it seems like Epic Games is getting ready to introduce emotes centered around the late rapper Juice Wrld into the game.
Reliable Fortnite leaker HypeX revealed on X that Juice Wrld’s manager, Peter Jideonwo, recently took to a group chat featuring the late rapper’s biggest followers. The manager asked Juice Wrld’s fans to send over dance moves that could be used as emotes.
While Jideonwo didn’t exactly say that the emotes are tied to Fortnite, given that we’ve been hearing for quite a while about a crossover featuring Juice Wrld, it could be a hint for what’s to come.
If this ends up happening, it’s going to be interesting to see how Epic Games manages to handle such a collaboration. Let’s hope Epic Games can truly do justice to such a crossover and immortalize Juice Wrld in Fortnite.
