Popular battle royale game Fortnite never ceases to spew surprises. In a recent report from Essentially Sports, it is said that 'Real Slim Shady' rapper Eminem has recently been added as the sole artist to Fortnite's in-game radio. Fans have noticed that Eminem's songs were the only ones featured on the battle royale's 'ICON' radio and some even started to speculate that a 'Slim Shady' event might be currently in the works.

The Real Slim Shady Is Coming to Fortnite Soon, Says Rumors

With the inclusion of Radio Stations in Chapter 2: Season 3, players now have the option to listen to music while driving in-game cars. In the past, they could only be used in motorboats and Choppas. The game's settings allow players to disable copyrighted music on radio stations and only listen to unrestricted music. In the past few days, radio-loving Fortnite players noticed that Eminem dominates the radio playlists with his rap songs, and they thought that this could mean something, a Fortnite x Real Slim Shady collab, perhaps.

At this point, collaboration events have been a staple feature in the battle royale game. We have witnessed Fortnite team up with Marvel, Naruto, and John Cena. Fortnite can commence a brand new event featuring award-winning rapper Eminem. After all, collaboration events almost always turn out to be successful. In the past, Epic Games have even featured artists like Ariana Grande and Travis Scott to have their own concerts in Fortnite. In the Fortnite universe, anything could happen.

Is the Rap God Coming to Fortnite Soon?

These speculations of a future Eminem event collab started from a major Fortnite leaks account that claimed that Slim Shady was currently the only artist with songs playing on the Fortnite Icon Radio station, which goes live every now and then. One of these songs is Venom, a soundtrack to a Marvel movie that goes with the same title. Of course, more discussions were held online, and many were left speculating whether this is another Fortnite bread crumb clue for a big event upcoming or just another coincidence. The said in-game radio features a number of other music artists.

Comicbook shares that nobody really understands what to make of this as of yet. The list of Eminem songs being played, which was uploaded by Twitter user HypeX, is rather long, making it highly unlikely that this is just some strange accident. It's very plausible that Eminem is going to host a significant musical event in the game soon, given that the game has a history of staging concerts for well-known artists, but that is still up in the air.

Here's a tweet from HYPEX:

Do not get your palms all sweaty and knees weak, and your arms heavy while waiting for the confirmation of these leaks. The Dragon Ball x Fortnite event is just a few days away from its release. Make sure to catch the latest event while waiting for Slim Shady to enter Fortnite.
