Shaq

A Slam Dunk

As a famous basketball player, Shaq has had his fair share of victories on the court but also with the occasional movie deal. Shaq arrived on the Fortnite island during Chapter 5 Season 4. This includes his Super Shaq skin and his DJ Diesel variant.

The Shaquille O’Neal set also includes the emotes, OneS N TwoS, Shaq Shimmy, and Lego skins that can be used in Lego Fortnite. Fortnite already gathers some of the greatest musicians, movie characters, and gaming legends. Shaq is a great addition to the growing collection of athletes.

The Battle Of The Bands

Fortnite Festival gives musicians the perfect place to not only share their likeness, but also their music. One band to get the full Fortnite treatment is Metallica. This band made its Fortnite debut during Chapter 5 Season 3.

Travis Scott

Rarest Icon Skin

Many hardcore players choose the Travis Scott skin due to its clean design since it was first released during an in-game Astroworld concert as part of the Travis Scott Set. Aside from having his T-3500 style, which gives him more Terminator-style features, purchasing the bundle also got you his Astro Jack outfit.

His Astroworld Cyclone glider became a hot competitive item and was considered pay-to-win. This was due to the glider being so big, that players beneath it would not be able to see their opponent as they descended from the sky.

Greet Roots Billie

Billie Eilish made her debut in Fortnite with her own mini Festive Pass. She was released during Chapter 5: Season 2 with two distinct styles; these are her Green Roots Billie and Ultraviolet, which have inverted colors, and her icon skin also has a Lego variant that can be used for Lego Fortnite.

A Bad Romance

Fortnite has some high-end fashion skins, so Lady Gaga fits right in with her Enigmatic Gaga style and her Chromatica Armor Gaga. The latter was inspired by her appearance on the Chromatica album, and it’s a must-have for fans of Fortnite Festival.

Tom Holland

Spider-Man and Nathan Drake

If you are a fan of Tom Holland, then you’re in luck, since he has two distinct skins that look like him in Fortnite. The first is his Spider-Man skin from No Way Home, a skin that allows you to take off Spider-Man’s mask, giving you a full glimpse at Holland’s face.

The other skin is Nathan Drake, which features Tom Holland as he appeared in the Uncharted movie. Both skins are separate but tend to rotate around the item shop from time to time with neither being battle pass exclusive.

Eminem

It Feels Empty Without Me

Eminem was added to the game during Fortnite: Chapter 4: Season OG. Eminem is known for having many personas in his various music videos. His most iconic looks arrived in Fortnite, such as Slim Shady, Marshall Never More, and Rap Boy.

While Fortnite lore dictates that none of the characters can speak, Eminem’s emote, Real Slim Shady, allows him to sing the iconic song. This makes him one of the few Fortnite skins capable of audible speech, and with so many Eminem’s running around, who is the real Slim Shady?

Neymar Jr

It’s A Goal

Neymar Jr is a famous Brazilian football player introduced during Chapter 2: Season 6, and he was included as the secret skin for the season, requiring players to complete different quests to unlock.

Ninja

Fortnite’s First Celebrity

Ninja is Fortnite’s very own homegrown celebrity. He originally got popular streaming Fortnite along with other pros of the era. Ninja eventually went on to get his reactive skin in the game.

Ariana Grande

Stylish In Battle

From Nickelodeon star to musical sensation, Ariana Grande makes her next big career step by joining Fortnite. When it comes to costume design, someone cooked here. Whether or not you’re a die-hard fan of Ariana Grande, the skin is plenty of fun to use and goes well with many dance emotes.

Her Fortnitemare’s space suit variant also has a cool, out-of-this-world design. Ariana Grande didn’t just get a skin in the game; she also got her in-game concert players could experience during different sessions.

Le Bron James

Come On And Slam

LeBron James got his own skin when Space Jam got a long-awaited sequel, and with his arrival in the Fortnite universe, he has three different styles to choose from. The first style gives him his own Fortnite flair, complete with a floating crown above his head.
