Lil Wayne is joining the Fortnite Icon Serieson Saturday, September 12, bringing a collection of themed Outfits, Emotes, Back Blings, Pickaxes, and Jam Tracks to Epic Games' battle royale.
The rapper, who is currently touring in support of his latest album, Tha Carter VI, will be available in the Fortnite Item Shop from September 12 at 8 PM ET through September 21.
The collaboration includes two Lil Wayne Outfits, several cosmetic items inspired by his music and career, and three Jam Tracks featuring some of his best-known songs.
Lil Wayne Fortnite Outfits
The Lil Wayne Icon Series collaboration includes two Outfits: Lil Wayne and Weezy.
The Lil Wayne Outfit features gold graffiti effects that glow and pulse to the beat. The Outfit also includes toggleable sunglasses, giving players the option to change the look.
The Weezy Outfit is based on Wayne's signature style and includes an ember reactive style. Players can also toggle the tank top, hat, and sunglasses.
Both Outfits are designed around Wayne's music and visual style, with reactive elements that respond to gameplay and music.
Lil Wayne Back Blings, Pickaxe, and Glider
The collaboration also introduces several accessories based on Lil Wayne and Young Money.
The Milli Bricks Back Bling features a stack of gold bricks arranged in the shape of the Young Money logo. The Weezy Board Back Bling, meanwhile, is a flaming skateboard.
The Weezy Boardbreaker Pickaxe expands on the skateboard theme. It is a dual-wield broken skateboard Pickaxe that ignites when players hit a weak point.
The Young Money Stage Glider brings a concert-style presentation to matches. Pyrotechnics activate when the Glider is deployed, while stage lights follow the player as they descend.
Lil Wayne Fortnite Emotes and Jam Tracks
Two new Emotes are included in the Icon Series release.
The Lollipop Emote features choreography from the "Lollipop" music video and includes Las Vegas-inspired lighting. The 6 Foot 7 Foot Emote features dance moves performed by Lil Wayne.
Three Jam Tracks will also arrive in Fortnite:
- "Lollipop"
- "A Milli"

The tracks give players another way to use Lil Wayne's music within Fortnite's music-focused features.
