Expectations rise for a potential Eminem diss track following the 'Fortnite' figure's harsh dismissal by a fan
In a recent viral moment, Eminem was referred to as the "guy from Fortnite" by a fan during a Fortnite-related event. The interaction, captured on camera, left viewers amused and anticipating a diss track from the rap legend. However, as of late August 2025, no diss track has been released or formally teased by Eminem.
The interaction sparked a wave of jokes and speculation on social media, with many fans joking about how some younger audiences know Eminem mainly due to his inclusion in Fortnite. Eminem himself laughed off the comment and responded humorously, highlighting his long-standing career before Fortnite existed.
Director Steven Leckart found it essential to include Eminem's perspective in the film, stating that he was candid, sincere, and frequently hilarious. This interaction is just one of the many moments featured in the upcoming documentary Stans, which offers a unique approach to the story, mostly told from a fan's perspective.
Stans, set to premiere on Paramount+ on Tuesday, 26 August in the US, Canada, Latin America, and Brazil, is based on the song "Stan," known for its unconventional storytelling and focus on a fan's perspective.

Fans who echo the sentiment of "I'm just like you" carry much of the film, offering a unique perspective on the song "Stan" by Eminem, exploring the relationship between the artist and his fans in an unconventional way.
Despite the viral moment and the subsequent buzz, no official announcement or confirmed release date for an Eminem diss track responding to being called "the guy from Fortnite" has been made. Fans remain curious if Eminem will address it musically going forward.
Reactions to the viral clip have been amusement and surprise at the nickname, with many fans on social media joking about the situation. One comment suggested that the fan's joke might have saved Eminem's career, while another humorously predicted a diss track from Eminem in response to the interaction.
