When people call him “Fortnite's guy”, Eminem doesn't seem to mind

Marshall Mathers III is no stranger to other names. You probably know he is Eminem, or Slim Shady, or Bad Mead Evil, the second half of the hip-hop super duo. Or maybe if you're a little younger you might know he's… “The guy from Fortnite”.

Eminem Participation Fortnite Dating back a few years later, in the 2023 Big Bang Scene Event, guests turned around and saw him ringing the apocalyptic skyline before popping up in the game as a skin.

Next, Eminem returns to the conclusion of Chapter 2 of 2024, this time with a rap battle of Battle Royale's unforgettable Monster and Mechanics Battle, one of the most interesting things in the game. (That mini season includes Eminem's hiding place as a location in the game, and also comes with an exotic mini-game that hits Eminem lyrics as you fire.)

Thankfully, judging by the video at this moment, the rapper laughed humorously.

Earlier this week Epic game owner Tim Sweeney refutes a report that shows the mystery of the game is coming.
