Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz Plays Fortnite, "No Chance" At $100M Over Ninja
By Jesse Collins ·
Sugar, we're going down to Tilted Towers! Pete Wentz from Fall Out Boy spoke briefly with TMZ about Fortnite and the recent $100 million prize pool.
Fortnite has become the newest craze among gamers, casuals, and even celebrities as of late. It's big enough that Epic Games has recently announced a massive prize pool of $100,000,000 for their first year of professional Fortnite. Even their recent Fortnite Pro-Am Tournament announcement for E3 in June includes a ton of celebrities paired up with the pros, with more being announced here soon.
TMZ jumped into the questions with Fall Out Boy bassist and lyricist Pete Wentz while he was headed to his vehicle in a parking lot (as paparazzi do). But, his questions weren't about albums or music. Since this is 2018, they were about Fortnite.
Wentz explained that he enjoys playing with his nine-year-old, letting the kid handle the firefights while he hides in a bush. Although he loves to play, he doesn't think he has what it takes to go up against pros like Ninja for that huge prize pool. He said he'll leave that $100 Million for players like Ninja.
He's a fan and enjoys playing, even having gameplay footage of Fortnite in the background of a recent concert, but he knows he's no match for the pros!
