The famous rapper and GRAMMY winner Doja Cat is officially in Fortnite. She's been waiting for the opportunity for a long time, and now in Fortnitemares 2025, she's the Mother of Thorns on Nitemare Island. She's not just a celebrity guest, as she's a long-time Fortnite player.
Doja Cat has long been a fan of the game. She's mentioned it in songs, played live on Instagram, and even taken a Fortnite lore quiz several times — all of which she got right. She says, "I've been waiting for my own Fortnite skin for a long time… it's special to me."
Mother of Thorns is inspired by her iconic all-red look in the “Paint The Town Red” music video. Additionally, the skin can be styled with the “Agora Hills” outfit and comes with three hairstyle options. There is also a special emote that levitates the character — a personal favorite of Doja Cat.
It's important to Doja Cat that the fan experience is interactive. She's not just an opponent in the game, because when she loses, she can be turned into a companion to help her in the fight. For her, Fortnite is the “ultimate extension of a brand” where fans can interact with her as a character.
Now, the Mother of Thorns can be seen until November 1 on Nitemare Island. According to Doja Cat: “I am there, waiting and watching. But be careful, because the Mother of Thorns is cunning and my presence is felt throughout the island.”
