It's spelled differently but Polo G's "Fortnight" is titled after the popular video game. Not only is it a rare Polo G record in that it doesn't include any swear words but the video finds the 22-year-old Polo chilling with $2.2 million cash and bouncing around with his friends.
On the chorus, he humbly keeps it to "half a million." He continues, "Yeezy match my Dior bag, that's just what I'm feelin' like / Steady missin' all my guys so I ain't feelin' right / We got soul ties like I met you in a different life."
Polo initially turned heads when he popped up with that $2.2 million in a duffle bag in an empty mansion. "Dis just inspiration [you know] I'mma pop my s**t every chance I get I'm still humble tho lol," he captioned the below clip. But there might be a bigger reason behind Polo's flexing.
He revealed that he originally recorded "Fortnight" for the Fortnite soundtrack, which is why there isn't any cursing. However, Polo claims "they didn't follow thru [with] it," so he decided to put it on 'Hall of Fame 2.0' instead. "I felt like that [song] FIREEEEE," he added.
The exact nature of Polo's canceled Fortnite partnership isn't clear but Epic Games has been involved in hip-hop drama before. In 2019, BlocBoy JB hit 'em with a lawsuit alleging copyright and trademark infringement after they used his signature "Shoot" dance for an emote.
The case seems to have fizzled.
Even without the official Fortnite co-sign, Polo is doing more than fine. 'Hall of Fame 2.0' sold 78k equivalent copies in its first week. However, that's a 65k decrease compared to the opening week for Polo's 'Hall of Fame' back in June, which gave him his first #1 album on the Billboard 200.
