Drake is the one of the biggest, if not the biggest, superstar in the music industry at this point in time. That might crush people to read that but it’s true. Drake puts asses in the seats. Or in this case, he decides to play Fortnite on Twitch. That’s pretty damn cool. For those who don’t know, Fortnite is a free video game that has swept the nation for the last few months, and Twitch is a social media service for people to watch other’s play video games. Ninja, the guy Drake is playing with, makes a half million per hour with people watching him play things like Fortnite. Absolutely incredible.

The Fortnite developers have to be pumped with this news overall as the popularity of the game will only grow to new heights. It’s pretty rare to get Drake as a non-paid influencer. Not be a Rovell, but this is going to major things for the game’s market value. The only people who lose in this whole thing are the Fortnite fanboys. Here’s why. We’re going to get BuzzFeed articles all day today about Drake playing this video game. “An explainer on Fortnite.” “Take this quiz to find out your Fortnite character.” “Is Ninja the most eligible gamer on the market?” All that sort of shit will be front and center. You’ll have people saying it’s a whole ‘stay woke’ thing to keep the momentum rolling of the game. Others will say it jumped the shark. I’m looking forward to all of it.

UPDATE – As I was finishing up this blog post, I hop to Twitter again and see that Travis Scott joined the group as well. What a goddamn time to be alive.

UPDATE – JuJu Smith-Schuster is also in. Let’s go.
