Rapper Sues Fortnite Over Dance Moves Sold In Video Game
LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) — A rapper says video game juggernaut Fortnite stole his dance moves, in a lawsuit filed Wednesday in Los Angeles.
The rapper who goes by 2 Milly says Epic Games misappropriated his dance, which he calls the "Milly Rock." In the game, the dance move was called "Swipe It" and was available to purchase for $5, but is reportedly no longer available.
2 Milly says he came up with the dance in 2011, but Fortnite did not give him credit or compensation.
The lawsuit asks a judge to order the video game to stop using his moves, and for damages to be determined later.
