Sports broadcaster Stephen A. Smith has asked for a Fortnite skin on social media. Here’s how fans of the TV star reacted and what the concept looks like.

Fortnite boasts a diverse range of skins, including fictitious characters and real-world celebrities from sports, music, and internet streaming. Ninja, The Weeknd, LeBron James, and others have all gotten Fortnite Icon Series skins, which fans have appreciated and purchased from the Item Shop.

However, acquiring a skin for yourself in Fortnite is a time-consuming procedure that needs face scanning and financial logistics to determine the price at which the item will be offered in the Item Shop. Nonetheless, some celebrities, like Dr. Phil, have desired to get their Fortnite skin in recent days.

The concept art perfectly captures Smith’s signature hair and beard style, complete with a suit. However, the gliders, which are parachutes around him, give it away as an AI art.

Another chimed in, “I’d spend V-Bucks so quick.” A third one wrote, “Lol it would be badass to play with Stephen A on Fortnite, and I don’t even play Fortnite like that lmao.”
