In the current era, social media posts can have quite a number of consequences. For instance, Elon Musk's tweets have been swaying the cryptocurrency market in the past few weeks. If that wasn't enough, GameStop's stock also skyrocketed after a tweet from Ryan Cohen, one of its board members. Now, another social media post that was originally meant to be a joke has confused thousands of people.

American singer and rapper Nothing, Nowhere today posted a video on his TikTok when one of his followers asked him why was he verified on TikTok. The follower might be unaware of his background, and Nothing, Nowhere jokingly replied that he was the creator of Fortnite, that's why his account is verified. It became viral pretty soon with many believing what he said and considering him to be the creator of Fortnite.

Nothing, Nowhere then tweeted that he convinced over 732k people that he had created Fortnite. The incident became quite viral on social media with many fans sarcastically stating that they weren't aware that he hadn't created Fortnite.

Who created Fortnite, was it Darren Sugg or Nothing Nowhere?

If you are one of the people who actually believed Nothing, Nowhere, then you should know that Fortnite is developed by Epic Games. Darren Sugg is known to be one of the creators of the game, and he is Creative Director and Chief Designer at Epic Games. While it was announced back in 2011, it was only after the partnership with Tencent in 2012 that Epic Games decided to embrace the free-to-play model for the game. The game has continued to grow in popularity and expand over the years. We have seen Epic Games collaborating with some leading franchises across the world, including the recent Alien crossover and the all-time-favorite Avengers: Endgame crossover. The game is also heading towards the end of the ongoing season, and considering that how exciting the conclusion of previous seasons has been, fans have a lot to look forward to. For now, many are just ridiculed by how a meme confused thousands of people out there.

Fortnite is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X, and Android.
