Days After Collaborating With Fortnite, the Real Slim Shady Climbs Up 115 Spots on Spotify Top Charts

All good things come to an end. Fans all over the world are disappointed as the OG Fortnite season comes to an end. But to change the tone of how Fortnite will be after the update, Epic Games has planned a collaboration. And it’s with none other than the Rap God.

Known for his rapping prowess, Eminem is all set to join forces with Fortnite. And while the collaboration is yet to be seen, the impact is already being felt.

Eminem becomes the top gainer on Spotify following Fortnite collaboration news

Epic Games has officially confirmed Eminem’s participation in Fortnite’s Chapter 4 live finale, The Big Bang event. The event will start on December 2nd at 2 PM ET. And it will be the conclusion of Fortnite’s OG chapter, signifying a return to the game’s roots. This event is being labeled as a new beginning for Fortnite, sparking speculation about potential changes, possibly including a new island.

Following the news about the collaboration with Fortnite, DramaAlert shared on X (formerly Twitter) that Eminem was one of the top gainers on Spotify. The caption read, “The Real Slim Shady is the biggest gainer on global Spotify charts, up 115 spots to #75 with over 1.799 MILLION streams.” After this caption, the user asked the audience if this was the “The Fortnite Kids effect?”

The “Fortnite Kids Effect” on Spotify streams refers to where an artist experiences a notable increase in the number of streams, potentially from their involvement in Fortnite. The battle royale platform has a massive global player base. And events or collaborations within the game can significantly impact the visibility and popularity of associated content, including music.

Fortnite has pioneered the concept of in-game concerts and events. Players can attend virtual concerts featuring live performances by real-world artists. These events create a unique and immersive experience for players. And this in turn, fosters a connection between the gaming and music communities.

What can players expect from the Fortnite X Eminem collaboration?

Players will get to see Eminem perform live in Fortnite during ‘The Big Bang’ event. Further, with the concert, players will receive 3 new skins inspired by Eminem:

• Rap Boy
• Slim Shady
• Marshall Never More.

Players can purchase these skins from the in-game item shop, allowing them to customize their characters with iconic Eminem-themed cosmetics.
