Rap royalty is arriving in the battle royale arena. Epic Games has officially confirmed that legendary hip-hop superstar Lil Wayne is joining *Fortnite* this coming weekend, making him the newest headliner to enter the game's famous Icon Series. Weezy steps into an elite virtual hall of fame that already features massive pop culture icons like Travis Scott, Sabrina Carpenter, Addison Rae, and EsDeeKid. Rather than just dropping a basic character model, the upcoming crossover offers a massive drop loaded with custom cosmetics, reactive gear, and exclusive moves that celebrate the rapper's storied career. ## What Items Are In The Lil Wayne Fortnite Drop? Players will be able to unlock two main outfits to rep the Young Money boss on the island. The standard Lil Wayne Outfit features glowing gold graffiti graphics that pulse dynamically to the music beat, along with toggleable sunglasses. For a more classic aesthetic, the Weezy Outfit captures his signature everyday look, featuring an ember-reactive style paired with a removable tank top, hat, and shades. The collaboration also delivers heavy-hitting gear inspired by the star's brand. Players can equip the Milli Bricks back bling, which displays a stack of gold bricks molded into the famous Young Money logo. Skate culture also gets a nod with the flaming Weezy Board back bling and the Weezy Boardbreaker pickaxe, a dual-wield broken skateboard that ignites whenever it hits a harvesting weak point. When diving onto the map, the Young Money Stage glider deploys full pyrotechnics while tracking spotlights follow players down to the ground. ## Is The Lollipop Dance Coming To Fortnite? The crossover extends well beyond character cosmetics. Gamers can show off their victory moves with the brand-new "Lollipop" emote, which replicates the unforgettable choreography from Wayne's classic Las Vegas music video. For musical gameplay, three of Lil Wayne’s all-time biggest hit tracks are being added to Fortnite Festival. The rhythm game mode will let players perform Weezy's discography in front of virtual crowds, rounding out one of the most comprehensive musician drops in recent *Fortnite* history.
