A music emote which featured Travis Scott has been removed from Tuesday’s Fortnite item shop
The popular emote was removed on Tuesday and comes at a time where the US rapper faces legal action following the deaths of eight people at his Astroworld festival held in Texas over the weekend.
Epic Games pulled the Out West emote, which features a sample of licensed music from Out West by Travis Scott and Jackboys, alongside all other items in the shop’s Daily section.
Fortnite’s support account on Twitter acknowledged the shop section’s removal, but didn’t disclose the details as to why.
Eight people died and more than 300 were injured in the crush during Friday’s opening night performance at Astroworld Festival.
Epic Games doen’t generally discuss the workings and selections of Fortnite’s Item Shop, though it is believed each day’s line-up is programmed well in advance.
