Hacker Uses Drake Fortnite Account to Play With Ninja, Shouts Racist Slur

Twitch Fortnite streamer Tyler "Ninja" Belvins and Music icon Drake are two of the most popular personalities in their respective entertainment industries and have teamed up in the past to the tune of playing Fortnite together for hundreds of thousands of viewers and setting streaming records.

While Drake and Ninja have not played Fortnite together in some time, it would not be totally out of the ordinary to see Drake possibly jump into a Fortnite match with Ninja. This was the first thought Ninja and his viewers had during the popular streamer's Twitch charity that was raising funds for the Ellen DeGeneres Wildlife Fund when the Fortnite account of Drake had appeared in the lobby of Ninja. 

However, it was soon apparent that it was not the legendary music industry star using his account but a hacker who had somehow gained control of the Epic Games account of Drake and managed to join the lobby of the high profile Twitch personality. During the next match the hacked account of Drake began to shout a racial slur repeatedly through their mic. This prompted Ninja to quickly leave the match in order to stop the hacked account from continuing to say the slur on his live stream.

Ninja then went on to state that he would be sending the popular music artist a message to alert him that his Fortnite account had been hacked and that he would be reporting the hacker in order to hopefully get the player behind the hacking banned.

At the time of writing, it is unclear what action Epic Games will take in regards to the hacked Fortnite account of Drake that was reported by Ninja during his charity stream for the Ellen DeGeneres Wildlife Fund.
