Playboi Carti Enters the Fortnite Multiverse as the Game’s First-Ever Music Blitz Boss

By DaMarko Webster

Fortnite is entering its vamp era—and they tapped none other than Playboi Carti to lead the charge. On December 11, the multiplatinum, culture-bending rapper officially steps into the Fortnite universe as the franchise’s first-ever music-themed Blitz Boss, marking a major moment for both gaming and modern hip-hop mythology.

This isn’t Carti’s first brush with the Fortnite multiverse. During the massive Zero Hour live event, which pulled in over 10.5 million players, fans caught a quick-but-electric glimpse of Carti as he joined a roster of digital heavyweights to help save reality from the Dark Presence. The cameo didn’t just break timelines—it lit up social media and set the stage for the rapper’s long-awaited in-game arrival.

Now the wait is over.

Dropping at 7 p.m. ET, Carti’s full suite of Fortnite items lands in the Shop with the v39.10 update. Players will be able to equip the Playboi Carti Outfit and the vamp-forward King Vamp Carti Outfit, each amplifying his trademark aesthetic—dark, stylish, and instantly recognizable.

The collaboration goes deeper than skins. Carti’s signature movement and energy translate directly into the new EVIL J0RDAN Emote and Rather Lie Emote, both infused with the kinetic swagger fans know from his live performances. Gamers can also expand their soundtrack with the new “Evil J0rdan” and “Sky” Jam Tracks, pushing Carti’s sound into Fortnite’s evolving music ecosystem.

And for players craving action, Carti will appear as a force within Fortnite Blitz Royale, the fast, frenetic, 32-player mode built for speed, strategy, and quick crowns. It’s the perfect arena for an artist whose career thrives on unpredictability and spectacle.

With this drop, Fortnite isn’t just adding another icon—it’s affirming the future of digital identity, performance, and cross-platform fandom. And as Carti becomes a virtual boss, one thing is clear:

A new era of gaming-meets-music has officially begun—and it’s vamped out, high fashion, and fully Carti-coded.
