Rapper 2 Milly Sues Maker Of ‘Fortnite’ Over Dance Move
If there’s one thing Fortnite is known for, other than being the biggest video game in the world, it’s the emotes and dances available to players. Many of the dances offered by Epic Games in Fortnite come from various pop culture personalities.
One of those personalities, rapper 2 Milly, isn’t thrilled with the game using his dance, and he’s actually filed a suit against Epic Games over the matter today, according to TMZ.
In the game, the emote is called “Swipe it,” while the dance is called “Milly Rock.” The name is about the only place in which the two differ because everything else is virtually identical.
Pierce Bainbridge, the firm representing the rapper in the lawsuit, filed the complaint in the Central District Court of California today. The firm accused Epic Games of copyright infringement and exploiting African American talent for profit in the game.
