In a recent development, Fortnite has added Kanye West's song Violent Crimes emote in the game.
Epic Games recently announced its latest Fortnite collaboration, and it is with Kanye West and his Violent Crimes song from the album Ye. The character does a slow and moody dance to the intro of the Kanye West track.
The song Violent Crimes represents the fears he has for his daughter and the state of the world when it comes to the struggles a woman goes through, as represented in the lyrics, which are as follows:
"Don't you grow up in a hurry, your mom'll be worried, aw/It was all part of the story, even the scary nights/Thank you for all of the glory, you will be remembered"
"Niggas is savage, niggas is monsters/Niggas is pimps, niggas is players/'Til niggas have daughters, now they precautious"
The emote has been added as part of a promotion for which users have to make their first purchase on the Fortnite website. It will not apply if you make it in the in-game store.
