Khaby Lame and Fortnite: TikTok’s wordless comedian Khabane “Khaby” Lame, who has held onto the title of “most-followed TikTok user” since June 2022 (161.9 million), will be the latest celebrity to feature in Fortnite’s “Icon Series” of character skins alongside Ariana Grande, MrBeast and Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, among others. Fortnite leans heavily into collaborations with creators, athletes, celebrities, brands and entertainment franchises to entice players to continue playing—and spending their money on the “skins,” or new character appearances, that result from these partnerships. The Lame skin is part of Fortnite’s Battle Pass, which costs $9.50.
