Calling all grandmas - Eminem teases 'Fortnite' collab
Eminem is getting ready to enter the 'Fortnite' gaming universe, but what does your grandma have to do with it?
US rapper Eminem is working on an exciting new project with Epic Games' popular online video game, 'Fortnite'.
Well, that's if his latest social media post is anything to go by. The 51-year-old took to Instagram this week to share a teaser of a possible collaboration with the game.
"Calling all grandmas 12.2," he wrote. Eminem's post included a video that shows the 'Fortnite' logo flashing on an old-school TV. His song, 'Tone Deaf', plays in the background.
The 'Mockingbird' rapper did not share any other details but it is clear he has something big planned with the billion-dollar video game brand.

Fans have been unable to decipher the meaning of Eminem's caption. There are currently zero grannies in 'Fortnite' and we don't know many grandma-gamers.
There are a few that play the game, but of the more than 100-million players in the 'Fortnite' universe, the chances of your grandma being one of them is very low.
That hasn't stopped Eminem's fans from making jokes about the grandma reference.
"My gran is gonna love this," one Instagram user teased. Another user added: "Imagine walking in your Grandmas house and she's just sitting there playing Fortnite with Eminem."
