‘Fortnite’ Blasted For Live Event Featuring Eminem Concert

Fortnite's Big Bang live event changed everything as fans watched a full-on Eminem concert. However, some were left extremely disappointed.

Players were hit with massive queues when they logged in to play the live Big Bang event, with some queues hitting nearly an hour and a half of wait time.

Those who were able to participate, or stream the event, found out about a new rhythm and music mode. The new feature is similar to the popular game, Guitar Hero. Fans learned of the new feature during the live event’s third act -- which was announced alongside two Eminem songs.

The Detroit rapper appeared in avatar form during the live event as he put on a virtual show -- which was awesome.

Unfortunately, some found the concert to be a let-down as Eminem's screen time ran about four minutes and only featured two songs -- “Lose Yourself” and “Godzilla."

"I bought the Eminem skin for no reason…. 10 hour wait time and missed the first live event now can even log into Fortnite for the one at 3… This is insane," one user wrote on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.

Others voiced their frustrations with Fortnite due to the high demand.

"I just waited in an hour and 36 minutes queue for it to say it can’t find my account then throw me into another queue for an hour and 48 minutes this time," one user said, adding, "I’m so angry with Fortnite. I literally bought the Eminem skin for today and today only and you do this? [I] feel robbed…."

Another user wrote, "So, I waited 2 hours, [the game] said unable to log in when I went to wait for the 5 pm event. Now I [have] another hour and a half queue…and I can't make the 11 pm event."

Adding, "So I guess I don't get my Eminem variant -- Thank you Fortnite...THANK YOU"

Rapper Eminem Opens Up On Addiction Struggles

Eminem recently spoke out about his career, even opening up about hard topics such as depression and drug addiction.

“I was at the lowest point,” Eminem recently said in an interview. “I didn’t even know what I was going to do because it didn’t look like it was going to happen. I’m 24 years old and I got a baby to take care of and all I want to do is rap, but it didn’t look good. I was super depressed.”

But everything changed for the “Lose Yourself” rapper when he unexpectedly found himself at Dr. Dre’s house, landing the chance of a lifetime. “I remember I was in the car with some friends and s–t right before I went to L.A., right after the Rap Olympics in 1997,” Eminem said.

The first album had just been released and the song “Phone Tap” was “one of the greatest beats ever made”, according to Eminem. “I remember saying, ‘If I could just get with Dre, man, my God that’d be so crazy. He’s so f—in’ ill’,” he said. And then, three weeks later, Eminem found himself at Dre’s house. “We made The Slim Shady LP. That was a fun album to make, but it’s also where everything suddenly changed,” the rapper explained.

Shortly after Eminem made his album “The Slim Shady LP” with Dr. Dre, drugs became a huge part of the way the rapper coped.
