Juice WRLD, the beloved Chicago rapper and singer who passed away in 2019 at the age of 21, recently made a virtual appearance in Fortnite as part of the game's latest musical event. The late artist, who was known for his love of video games, was featured during “Remix: The Finale,” a grand in-game concert that also included performances by Eminem, Snoop Dogg, and Ice Spice.
Carmela Wallace, Juice WRLD’s mother and manager of his estate, shared in a recent interview how video games played a special role in her son's life. “He always loved video games,” she said. “It was his way to escape, to deal with anxiety, depression, and stress. He even traveled with a console everywhere he went.” Among his favorite games was Fortnite, which has hosted a series of virtual concerts with artists like Travis Scott, Ariana Grande, and Metallica.
“Remix: The Finale” was part of Fortnite’s “Chapter 2 Remix” event, a month-long celebration of the game’s 2020 era. The November-long event culminated in Saturday’s concert, where Juice WRLD’s animated avatar joined a lineup of music heavyweights. Players controlling their in-game avatars—some styled as Juice WRLD, Snoop Dogg, or even anime characters—explored the game’s virtual world before gathering at a designated performance zone.
The concert featured several dynamic performances. Snoop Dogg, appearing as a towering cosmic figure, performed “Drop It Like It’s Hot,” followed by Eminem, who transformed into a robot warrior—a nod to a previous Fortnite event. Ice Spice then took the stage as a street-style princess before Juice WRLD performed his hit “Lucid Dreams” and premiered “Empty Out Your Pockets,” a bonus track from his final posthumous album, The Party Never Ends. Released just a day earlier, the album adds another chapter to Juice WRLD’s lasting legacy.
Epic Games reported that “Remix: The Finale” drew over 14 million concurrent players during its first showing, surpassing the 12 million viewers for Travis Scott’s 2020 concert. The success of this event reinforces Fortnite’s reputation as a groundbreaking platform for immersive music experiences and highlights Juice WRLD’s enduring influence on fans.
