Rap Boy is one of the cheaper outfits and available for 1.5k V-Bucks.

The second outfit is called Slim Shady, and is named after Eminem’s previous rap persona.

Featuring his iconic bleach-blonde hair, a navy jacket and sweatpants, and a t-shirt based on the Kinky shirt he used to wear.

Slim Shady is a slightly more expensive outfit and will set you back 1.9k V-Bucks.

The Marshall Never More skin is more based on Eminem’s current look, with brown hair, and in a 1950s style suit.

The Travis Scott skin is a character reskin in Fortnite that looks just like the rapper of the same name.

It was added as part of the Astronomical in-game event.

Scott premiered his new track at the time, as part of an "other-world experience" for players.

And the Travis Scott skin was just one of the items available in-game to promote the event.

Epic Games hasn't officially confirmed the return of the Travis Scott skin.

Originally players had to complete in-game challenges to acquire event items, but the skin itself has been removed.

However, Fortnite leaker HypeX claimed on Twitter in February 2021 that the skin could return.
