Ken Carson Receives Custom Fortnite Sprite
Ken recently showed off a custom Sprite sent to him by the Fortnite team.
Sprites are collectible companions in Fortnite, and Epic has been putting more emphasis on them throughout Chapter 7. The company has even invited its community to design original Sprites that can be officially added to the game.
Ken’s custom Sprite is particularly interesting because it appears to be directly connected to the rapper rather than simply being a generic Fortnite item.
The reveal has naturally led fans to wonder whether this is the beginning of a larger collaboration.
A number of fans online are already speculating that Ken could eventually receive his own Icon Series Outfit, especially after Fortnite’s recent string of collaborations with younger and rapidly growing artists.
Fortnite Recently Collabed With Other Rappers
The speculation surrounding Ken comes at an interesting time for Fortnite’s music collaborations.
In May, British rapper EsDeeKid officially joined Fortnite with his own Icon Series Outfit and additional cosmetics. His Fortnite collaboration included multiple versions of his character, including selectable styles.
Then, in July, Lil Tecca became the latest major rap artist to enter the Fortnite universe.
Fortnite officially announced Lil Tecca as the Season 15 Icon for Fortnite Festival, bringing his music into the game alongside a Tour Ready Lil Tecca Outfit, the Mic Mace Pickaxe, Tecca’s World Back Bling and additional cosmetics. His Outfit is also available through the Item Shop with a Ransom Toon alternate style.
With EsDeeKid and Lil Tecca both receiving Fortnite collaborations in recent months, Ken Carson potentially being next would fit with the game’s continued push toward younger artists with strong online fanbases.
Ken Carson’s Fortnite Future
At this point, fans should treat the Ken Carson Fortnite collab rumors as speculation.
The custom Sprite confirms that Ken has some type of connection with the Fortnite team, but it does not necessarily mean that an Icon Series Outfit is guaranteed.
Still, the timing is hard to ignore.
Fortnite has recently expanded its roster of rap and underground leaning artists, and Ken Carson has become one of the biggest names associated with the current Opium and rage rap movement.
For now, fans will have to wait and see whether Ken’s custom Sprite is simply a one off collaboration or the first hint at something much bigger.
