Peter Jideonwo, Manager of late rapper Juice WRLD is reportedly trying to bring the artist into Fortnite. How would that play out?
Peter Jideonwo, the manager of late Juice WRLD, is attempting to bring the rapper to Fortnite. He announced this in a video that went viral on Twitter. Fans are obviously split when it comes to a matter like that. Some see it as pure greed to use the name of Jarad Anthony Higgins to strike a valuable deal with Epic Games, whereas others are delighted at the possibility of seeing their favorite artist inside the game. But how would that play out? Will we see a Juice WRLD Skin or even a virtual concert by the late rapper?
Conversations With Epic Are Planned
Jideonwo has disclosed that there is already an agreement about discussions to bring the rapper into the game. He stated in greater detail:
We definitely need Juice WRLD on Fortnite. We've been trying our hardest and that's also a work-in-progress - we've actually got a meeting. I think it's next Thursday, if I'm not mistaken - Tuesday or Thursday with Epic. Epic makes Fortnite game so if y'all want to... I really think it'll be cool because I think they definitely... obviously everyone on Fortnite loves Juice and 'Come & Go' was a huge record on Fortnite, so I think it really fits. So if y'all want to go and hit up the people at Epic Games and Fortnite; y'all should definitely do that too.

With his closing statement, Jideonwo is encouraging the rapper's fans to hit up Epic's social media channels and express their wish of bringing Juice to Fortnite. He has actually played a part in the game already. Not as a huge attraction, but his song "Come and Go" has stirred some attention during Ariana Grande's Rift-Tour.
How Would Juice WRLD Come To Fortnite?
It's not exactly known how Peter Jideonwo plans to bring him into the game, but since hip hop and rap culture play a big part in Fortnite, adding a skin for Juice WRLD would make a lot of sense and would also be a lucrative agreement for both sides. An actual in-game concert would no doubt be next level, like the ones we saw by Travis Scott or Ariana. This would probably even attract fans that have never been in touch with Fortnite before, just to experience the late artist live one last time.
We'll have to wait and see, how the discussions between Epic and Jideonwo end, but we're confident that we'll at least be seeing the rapper in some form inside Fortnite.
