Elly Fortnite Emote: How Much Does it Cost?
By Chaz Frazer
Elly Fortnite emote has now hit stores allowing fans to support their favorite J-pop star.
As Fortnite continues to carve itself into the annals of pop-culture-crossover immortality, the battle royale phenomenon this time goes east as they announce a brand new limited-time collaboration with J-pop phenom Elly. Also known as Crazyboy from J-pop supergroup J Soul Brothers III, his love for the game of Fortnite is well documented. He has even placed in the top 10 at the Australia Summer Smash Fortnite Pro-Am Tournament in February 2020 - a side event that sees pop-culture and celebrities are teamed up with pros to form squads and battle it out alongside accompanying major tournaments. As a major fan of the game, Elly spoke on his recent collaboration with Fortnite:
“I’m really honored and excited to be able to have something that I do on a regular basis with music and dance to be put into the game that I love, “Fortnite. I’m happy that the dance to my solo track PINK DIAMOND was selected! I look forward to help drive excitement around the official Fortnite tournaments in Japan! Certainly, give the emote a try! Love”
Elly also has a substantial solo career under the moniker Crazyboy - focusing more on hip-hop than his counterparts at the J-pop J Soul Brothers III are typically known for. His incorporation of unique, smooth, and invigorating dance moves in his performances and videos is one of the reasons for this collaboration with Epic Games.
