Will Smith Fortnite Skin Requests Skyrocket With Predictable Emote Ask
Following recent events, Fortnite fans have begun fierce requests for the game's Will Smith skin to return to the Item Shop. Epic Games' beloved battle royale shooter has a huge roster of different skins, ranging from Marvel superheroes to the brutal John Wick. Back in August 2021 Fortnite added Will Smith's Bad Boys character, detective Mike Lowrey, as a playable skin for fans of the 1995 buddy cop flick.
Will Smith is known around the world for lead roles in blockbusters like Independence Day, Men in Black, Ali and more. However, the Hollywood icon recently made headlines for an enraged outburst during the recent 94th Academy Awards ceremony. While preparing to present the Academy Award for Best Documentary Picture, comedian Chris Rock made a joke about actress Jada Pinkett Smith's shaved head. Pinkett Smith's husband, Will Smith, then stormed up on stage and slapped Rock in the face for the insult before sitting down and verbally berating him. The Will Smith slap spawned video game memes almost immediately, with gamers using the event to reference Elden Ring, Persona and the gaming industry overall.
