Scrubs actor reveals his thoughts on Fortnite using his dance \u2013 \u201cThey jacked that s***\u201d Scrubs star Donald Faison once performed a now iconic dance on an episode of the medical comedy-drama, which many people of the younger generation now recognize as the Fortnite dance. Although players in Fortnite Battle Royale have their choice of countless dances and emotes to use, when the game first released in September 2017, all players were given one default dance. This was in fact the dance which Faison had improvized on the episode \u2018My Half Acre\u2019 in the show\u2019s fifth season. During a reunion of the Scrubs cast, coming together for the first time since the show ended in 2010, where the topic of Faison\u2019s dance being reincarnated in the world\u2019s most popular game came up. However, despite now being made so iconic and performed by children in school all over the world as they show off their favorite Fortnite dances to friends, Faison isn\u2019t receiving any royalties for his creation. Faison told the crowd that someone had reached out to him from Epic Games about using the \u2018choreography\u2019, which prompted the crowd to ask him to perform it for them, to which he responded \u201cIf you want to see it, you can play Fortnite, because they jacked that shit!\u201d Faison is not the only dance creator who has gone unrewarded by Epic for using his dances in game, with a host of music artists having their own iconic dances used without royalties being paid. Hip-Hop artist Chance the Rapper previously called out Epic Games for using the work of \u2018black creatives\u2019 without paying them for it, arguing that the real songs should be used in order to pay the artists for their creation. Rapper 2 Milly also said he was planning to sue Epic Games for the use of his \u2018Milly Rock\u2019 dance, although the legal precedent for such a case is not clear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
