Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 7 has taken things to a new level when it comes to collaborations. The start of the season itself took fans by surprise when they saw Rick and Morty available in the battle pass. Later during the season, it was revealed that Superman would also be joining the battle against the aliens. Most recently, the additions of Ariana Grande and Lebron James to the Icon series has been the talk of the town.

Previously, we have seen artists like Travis Scott and Marshmello in the game when they were at the peak of their powers. Despite this, the “Prince of Reggaeton” will surely add a new dynamic and bring a new audience to Fortnite.
