The Swipe It dance from Fortnite.

Fortnite could’ve missed the pain, but it would’ve had to miss 2 Milly’s dance

Hip hop artist 2 Milly has filed a lawsuit against Fortnite developer Epic Games. The rapper claims that the studio infringed on his copyright by reproducing his famous Milly Rock dance as an emote in the battle royale shooter. And while law firm Pierce Bainbridge is handling the complaint in the Central District Court of California, 2 Milly also wants to use the court of public opinion to try a U.S. corporation for profiting off of the creation of an African-American.

“I was never compensated by Epic Games for [its] use of the ‘Milly Rock,’” 2 Milly said in statement. “They never even asked for my permission. I am thrilled to have David Hecht and his team at Pierce Bainbridge representing me to help right this wrong.”
