Dr Disrespect Skin Leak, is it True?
On December 19th, Dr Disrespect posted a brief clip on X depicting what looks like a Fortnite character modeled after the streamer's iconic style. The outfit sports Disrespect's signature red vest and sunglasses and is holding two trophies. Additionally, it shows a red Lamborghini as a potential glider skin.
While Disrespect fans were instantly enthused about the idea of finally obtaining his likeness as a Fortnite skin, there are a few suspicious elements about the video that suggest it may not be real:
- The locker interface shown is outdated and no longer used in the current Fortnite game
- The skin banner says "Legendary", but real Icon skins have an Icon banner
- There has been no confirmation from Epic Games about a Dr Disrespect skin

No Evidence in Game Files
Reliable Fortnite leakers and dataminers, who uncover assets for upcoming skins that are added to the game's files, have found no evidence pointing to a Disrespect skin being actively developed. If it were real, there would likely be background files for it already in the game.

Could It Happen in the Future?
While questionable, the video has still generated substantial excitement and interest among fans. The concept resonates with much of the community.
- Epic Games has not issued any statement on the leaked video or addressed whether Dr Disrespect will receive his own Icon Series treatment in the future.
- Given his popularity and status as one of gaming's most iconic personalities, collaborating officially with Disrespect would seem a logical crossover for Epic to pursue down the road.
