Drake Donates $5,000 to Ninja for Winning a Fortnite Match

Rapper Drake and popular Fortnite streamer Tyler "Ninja" Belvins broke a Twitch record the last time the two joined forces to collect some victory royales in Fortnite Battle Royale, alongside Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Juju Smith-Schuster and rapper Travis Scott. This time around it was only Ninja and Drake playing together. No records were broken, but there was two very memorable moments in the few matches that Drake was able to play before he had to get back to work.

During the pair's final game, Drake had been eliminated and told Ninja that he would donate $5,000 to the talented Fortnite player's stream if he collected the victory. Doing what he does best, Ninja went to work and took out the remaining enemies and secured the victory for the duo with 16 total kills. Drake stated that he was "man of his word" and asked Ninja for the details needed to donate the money. Not only is the best Fortnite player in the world playing with celebrities like Drake, but now he is even taking their money with his clutch play in the battle royale title.

Another eye catching moment of the duo's playing time together came when Ninja told Drake that he needed to somehow include some lingo referencing Fortnite in his next alblum. "It has to happen," said Drake, "It just has to be the right way." The rapper then went on to say that if Epic Games added his Hotline Bling dance as an emote to the game, he would include some form of Fortnite reference into an alblum of his. The desire to see the Hotline Bling dance in Fortnite is shared by a majority of the community, as Drake's signature dance from the hit song became an emote that many players wanted to see in the game after his record breaking stream with Ninja.

There is never a lack of entertainment when Ninja and Drake come together to play Fortnite, and now the world waits until the next time the two join forces once again.
