Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 7 has taken things to a new level when it comes to collaborations. The start of the season itself took fans by surprise when they saw Rick and Morty available in the battle pass. Later during the season, it was revealed that Superman would also be joining the battle against the aliens. Most recently, the additions of Ariana Grande and Lebron James to the Icon series has been the talk of the town.

However, this new rumor could take all the attention away from them. According to leaks from HYPEX and Not0fficer, Colombian singer JBalvin will be the next celebrity to receive an icon series skin. Previously, we have seen artists like Travis Scott and Marshmello in the game when they were at the peak of their powers. Despite this, the “Prince of Reggaeton” will surely add a new dynamic and bring a new audience to Fortnite.

In his tweet, Hypex revealed three version of the JBalvin skin. The first and most basic one features the artist in all black attire, colorful Nike’s and his patented blue hair.
