Fortnite has just received a new emote, as part of its recently-launched Icon Series, and it is called Crazyboy. As with many other Fortnite emotes, the Crazyboy emote is a recreation of a real life dance, though not every player will be immediately familiar with its point of origin. For fans that may be curious about this, here are full details on where the Crazyboy emote in Fortnite comes from.
To put things simply, Fortnite's Crazyboy emote is based on a dance that is performed by J-pop star Elly in a music video for his song "Pink Diamond." For the uninitiated, Elly is a member of J-pop supergroup J Soul Brothers III as well as a solo performer, and fans that would like to see the Crazyboy dance from Fortnite compared with the musician's real life moves can find that in the video featured below.
For fans that wish to purchase Fortnite's Elly emote for themselves, that can be done right now at a cost of 500 V-Bucks. However, interested players will need to act somewhat quickly, as it is indicated that the Elly emote in Fortnite will only be available until 11:00 AM EDT on Monday, April 20. Indeed, Fortnite's Crazyboy dance is only scheduled to be around through the weekend, giving fans a very limited window to buy it.
To note, this new Elly emote is not the first in Fortnite's Icon Series, as that honor is reserved for an emote based on streaming sensation Tyler "Ninja" Blevins. That Ninja Fortnite emote was released back in January, and it was supplemented by special Ninja skins and cosmetics. While Elly has not gotten this full treatment, fans of the J-pop star will still be pleased to see his dancing represented in the game.
For players that are not fans of Elly's music, and are not particularly interested in his emote, there is some other music-related Fortnite news that may be more to their tastes. Specifically, there is indication that there may be a Travis Scott concert in Fortnite in the not-too-distant future, and that is certainly something that many players would be excited about.
Fortnite is out now for iOS, Android, PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
