Juice WRLD’s collaboration with Fortnite is set to reach new heights with the release of the highly anticipated remix of “Whoa,” in partnership with the estates of both Juice WRLD and XXXTentacion. This exciting development comes ahead of the launch of a special XXXTentacion Emote on Fortnite, scheduled for May 30.
The introduction of XXXTentacion into the Fortnite universe will be complemented by an immersive event in the game’s Super Red vs. Blue Island. This initiative not only entertains but also raises support for the XXXTentacion Foundation, ensuring that the legacy of the late rapper is honored through contributions to charitable efforts.
Earlier, Fortnite celebrated Juice WRLD’s memory through a tribute event titled “Juice WRLD: The Party Never Ends,” which showcased a custom-designed island inspired by the late artist. This vibrant space allowed players to engage with unreleased tracks alongside his classic hits like “Lucid Dreams” and “Wishing Well,” creating a space for fans to connect with his music and legacy in a unique setting.
Carmela Wallace, Juice WRLD’s mother, emphasized how her son loved playing Fortnite, describing the tribute as a meaningful way to commemorate his life and influence on hip-hop culture.
Moreover, XXXTentacion’s ongoing legacy continues to resonate with music lovers. His single “SAD!” achieved remarkable success, becoming the first solo work to top the Billboard Hot 100 after an artist’s passing since Biggie Smalls, while breaking streaming records on Spotify.
This collaboration between Epic Games and the estates of these two iconic artists symbolizes a fusion of gaming and music culture, offering both fans and players a chance to celebrate their favorite artists in innovative and entertaining ways. The future looks bright as both Juice WRLD and XXXTentacion’s music continues to inspire a new generation while supporting meaningful causes through their legacies.
