You\u2019ll soon be able to flex on enemies with the Numa Numa emote in Fortnite, in a nod to early noughties meme culture.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fortnite has cameos from every popular franchise you could possibly imagine, ranging from Star Wars to Marvel, and even popular rappers like Travis Scott.  <\/p>\n

The game is also known for picking up on trends and popular songs and turning them into emotes, giving you the chance to perform a dance number when you kill enemies.  <\/p>\n

This time, a leak suggests that a Moldovan song from the early noughties might make an appearance in the battle royale \u2013 yes, that Moldovan song.<\/p>\n

The song is no other than Numa Numa, which had a comeback earlier this year when it went viral on TikTok.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Again and again, Fortnite has prove its appreciation for meme culture, like when it turned Louis Theroux\u2019s Jiggle Jiggle rap song into an emote, so it\u2019s no surprise that Numa Numa will follow suit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The leaked emote for Numa Numa was first spotted by well-known leaker iFireMonkey, who was previously right about the Jiggle Jiggle emote, amongst other things.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While going through the files that accompanied Fortnite\u2019s v22.30 update, iFireMonkey was able to spot an encrypted file that had a shop asset, meaning it could soon be added to the game\u2019s item shop.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Through a post on Twitter, iFireMonkey revealed that the emote is codenamed \u2018Iconic\u2019 and that it appears to be an icon emote, which usually comes with music. <\/p>\n

Reddit quickly caught up with the leak and everyone seemed to be excited about Numa Numa potentially being added to the game as an icon emote.  <\/p>\n

One user said that it\u2019d be an \u2018instant buy\u2019 for them if it gets added to the shop, and another simply wrote \u2018please.\u2019 <\/p>\n
