Fortnite is being sued for appropriating dance moves from black artists
December 6, 2018 - Rapper 2 Milly is suing Epic Games, the makers of Fortnite, for allegedly using and profiting from, without permission, a dance move he created.
The dance move in question is the “Milly Rock,” which 2 Milly—whose real name is Terence Ferguson—popularized in a music video on YouTube in 2014.
