10 Best Celebrity Cameos in Fortnite 2025

Fortnite knows how to reel you in, with all of the themes and icons it often adds to the growing battle royale universe. So far, there have been stars from all corners of the stardom world, whether blockbuster films, anime, the music industry, or even sports. 

And while mostly, celebrity cameos in Fortnite are showcased via skins and cosmetics you can buy, the franchise is branching out to feature musicians in live concerts, create unique emotes you can fan over, alongside special in-game events themed around your favorite stars. These all perfectly capture the personality and style of your favorite celebrities, allowing you to celebrate their art and stardom in gaming. 

Curious to discover the best celebrity cameos in Fortnite? Here we go again.

10. Will Smith “Mike Lowrey”

“Bad boys, bad boys, what you gonna do…” is one of the most catchy tunes films have given us; you just can’t help singing it as you blast alien heads in the Fortnite universe. And I suspect other players, too, when they see you stepping out in your Will Smith “Mike Lowrey” skin. The outfit ain’t too bad, perfectly capturing Mike’s badass look and aura.

Plus, it comes with a Detective Duffle bag, back bling, and a unique Loose Cannon Cutters dual pickaxe. Why Fortnite decided to add Mike to the Season Seven alien-themed event is anyone’s guess. And the price tag, too, is a little hefty at 1500. Still, Bad Boys fans and other players will love the skin’s overall design and accessories. 

9. Ariana Grande

Ariana Grande can do it all, most recently putting on a showstopping performance on Wicked. She’s super talented and rightly featured in the Rift Tour concert. Just one attendance at the concert is enough to become addicted; you’ll often find yourself making the time to boogie at the fanfest.

But Ariana’s fans have even more to enjoy, thanks to the addition of in-game cosmetic skins as well. Combined, you enjoy a pretty fancy concert, possibly in your Ariana skin, whether the Rift Goddess or Spacefarer themes. They even come with unique emotes and such impressive details, back bling, and animations.

8. Eminem

The king of rap also has a feature in Fortnite, mostly skins, alongside a boss fight and integration of his music in the game. You enjoy bopping to Berserker and Rap God music and sound effects during combat.

Meanwhile, you can step out in a variety of Eminem aesthetics, from the Slim Shady to the Rap Boy skin. And additionally, wield the Shady Double Saw pickaxe while visiting Mom’s Spaghetti Restaurant as a point of interest in-game. 

7. Shaquille O’Neal

Sports stars have also had their time in the spotlight in Fortnite, including basketball player Shaquille O’Neal. You get both Super Shaq and DJ Diesel skins, free to customize to your will. And they come with several clothing and accessory choices as well.

DJ Diesel, in particular, has stunning reactive lighting and allows you to change its outlines, while Super Shaq allows you to change its colors. And an added nice touch is the NPC at Masked Meadows dressed as Santa Shaq.

6. Le Bron James

The one and only Le Bron James also makes his way to the best celebrity cameos in Fortnite. The skins’ pretty much look like Le Bron, to impressive detail, from tattoos to NBA rings. It sparks gold, which you can unlock more pieces upon completing quests.

5. Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak “Silk Sonic”

Silk Sonic is bringing back soul funk music, and Fortnite is determined to let their praises roar, so much so that the game adapts the band’s skins to a retro ‘70s disco style, just like the outfits Silk Sonic wears in “Smoking Out the Window.”

4. Keanu Reeves (John Wick)

Admittedly, John Wick’s skin is very simple. But in simplicity lies class and style. It’s no surprise then that Keanu Reeves’ “John Wick” skin is one of the most popular outfits, and among the best celebrity cameos in Fortnite.

It’s clean, it’s detailed, and it allows you to edit the style and cosmetics to fit your personal taste. And when you slip it on, boy, does it make you feel badass, like you can be John Wick himself, wiping out waves of enemies on the battlefield.

3. Travis Scott

Another legendary artist to make it to Fortnite is Travis Scott. His concert is one of the best you’ll attend, immersing you in a unique, virtual experience. Even in the number of players who attend the concert, the numbers are staggering.

It’s mostly because the concert takes risks, choosing to deliver a more trippy experience that feels too surreal. Physics is thrown out the window, as Fortnite’s creativity with interactive music videos in gaming format shines through.

2. Mr. Beast

Among the plentiful celebrity cameos in Fortnite, Mr. Beast is possibly the most impressive. The skin closely resembles Mr. Beast, with extra high fidelity and a stunning cell-shaded character design. While some gamers find it less realistic than usual, it quite stands out from the crowd, with the hat or without the mask. You also get a unique glider and pickaxes, all designed based on Mr. Beast’s brand.

But there’s an Extreme Survival Challenge event, too, where you complete several minigames and obstacle races, ranging from the floor is lava to mazes and evading bomb hazards, to win a grand prize of $1 million. That’s real money, by the way, that was won by GUILD Anas in December 2022 when the limited-time event was active. 

1. Marshmello

Marshmello’s concert, on the other hand, more directly replicates an actual festival concert in real life. And well, it was implemented to perfection. If in-person live concerts ever become impossible to actualize, Marshmello’s event will be the standard, leading us to the future.

Dancing avatars with weapons disabled show off their best moves. The lighting is perfect for an EDM concert, with crazy effects that make your brain go wild. Even without headsets, the stunning video alone is enough to get you grooving.
