Fortnite Reportedly Looking at Adding ‘Not Like Us’
According to leaker ShiinaBR, Fortnite is considering adding Not Like Us by Kendrick Lamar. The song gained significant popularity over the summer and was a notable addition to the rap scene. It played a key role in the rap feud between Lamar and Drake, creating a buzz in the music industry for months.
While the leaked information suggested the possible inclusion of Not Like Us in some form, the specific implementation, whether as an emote, a festival track, or another feature, was not disclosed.
Despite the leak and the survey hinting at the presence of Not Like Us, the song’s content presents challenges for integration into the game. While Fortnite has previously included songs with mature themes, the explicit nature and serious subject matter of Not Like Us may require significant modifications for suitability in a game with a predominantly younger audience.
The potential inclusion of this song could also impact future collaborations with the artist involved in its creation. While there are obstacles to overcome, Epic Games is reportedly exploring the possibility of adding Not Like Us to Fortnite.
