Madison Beer remains one of the biggest names in pop music, and in her latest appearance on Hot Ones, she sends a message that ‘Fortnite‘ fans were waiting for. The Grammy-nominated singer asked the devs to stop changing the game so much. But then she dropped the bombshell. She asked for her own skin. The moment has since taken the internet by storm.
Ted Timmins, ‘Fortnite‘s design director, responded after being tagged in a post by Epic Games partner HYPEX. While he did not confirm a Madison Beer skin, he teased that Chapter 7 Season 2 would have something for longtime fans. The exchange has left players wondering whether Beer could be the next celebrity to join the Icon Series.
What Did Madison Beer Say To ‘Fortnite’ Devs on Hot Ones?
During the interview, host Sean Evans prompted Beer to play a round of the show’s signature game. She quickly pivoted the conversation toward ‘Fortnite,‘ expressing both her love for the game and frustration with its constant changes. Beer kept things straight with the developers and asked them to keep things as they are.
In recent months, the devs have made several changes in the game, which made quite a few fans dissatisfied, and Beer wasn’t letting that slide. But then she threw the curveball when she asked the developers directly to make a skin for her.
Beer also asked Epic Games to give her a skin, turning the lighthearted segment into a genuine appeal. The singer has over 730,000 followers on Twitch, where she regularly streams ‘Fortnite‘ and Fall Guys. Her gaming presence gives the request more weight than a typical celebrity shoutout.

The clip spread rapidly after HYPEX shared it on X, tagging Timmins in the process. His response was lighthearted but carefully worded. He said he did not expect to be tagged and expressed hope that Beer would enjoy the upcoming season. He specifically mentioned that Season 2 would include features for OG players to appreciate.
When Will Devs Introduce Madison Beer Skin In ‘Fortnite’?
Epic Games has a strong track record of turning celebrity requests into actual collaborations. Chappell Roan publicly said she wanted a ‘Fortnite‘ skin in 2025, and it became a reality in early February 2026. The pattern suggests that Beer’s request is far from impossible, especially given her active presence in the gaming space.
‘Fortnite‘s Icon Series already features major music artists. Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mariah Carey, The Weeknd, Sabrina Carpenter, and Lady Gaga have all appeared as playable characters. The series has become one of Epic’s most reliable tools for attracting new players and keeping the game culturally relevant.
Beer fits the profile of a future Icon Series addition. She has a dedicated fanbase, streams regularly, and now has a viral moment tied directly to the game. Epic has not announced any collaboration, but the groundwork feels laid, and fans might see her in the game this year or in early 2027.
What Does This Mean For ‘Fortnite’ Chapter 7 Season 2?
While things remain interesting, Timmins was quick to tease the fans about some OG content that is in the pipeline. For him, that remains the immediate takeaway, and it suggests that S2 will reintroduce some classic features or weapons that old-school players have been missing.

This makes sense since Beer openly criticized the devs for changing too many things in the game, which felt a bit intentional rather than offhand. Whether Beer gets her skin remains unclear. But with Epic’s history of rewarding vocal celebrity fans, players should not be surprised if her name appears in a future battle pass or item shop rotation.
