Alfonso Ribeiro is Suing the Creators of "Fortnite" for Stealing and Profiting Off his Signature "Carlton Dance"

Former "Fresh Prince of Bel Air" star Alfonso Ribeiro is suing the creators of the video game "Fortnite," accusing them of using his signature "Carlton dance" without permission or compensation, according to multiple reports. This comes after another rapper 2-Milly recently sued the company of Stealing his signature "Milly Wop" dance.

American video game developer Epic Games owns "Fortnite," which contains an animated dance that users can buy and download. Last January, the company added Ribeiro's infamous dance moves based on his character "Carlton Banks". The game creators named the downloadable dance, or emote, the "Fresh." 

Not only is the dance (or emote) called “Fresh,” but the music in the background is clearly a take on singer Tom Jones’ “It’s Not Unusual.”

"Epic has earned record profits off of downloadable content in the game, including emotes like 'Fresh,'" Ribeiro's attorney David Hecht said in a statement. "Yet Epic has failed to compensate or even ask permission from Mr. Ribeiro for the use of his likeness and iconic intellectual property."

"Mr. Ribeiro is seeking his fair and reasonable share of profits Epic has earned by use of his iconic intellectual property in 'Fortnite' and as a result is requesting through the courts that Epic cease all use of Mr. Ribeiro’s signature dance," Hecht added, according to NBC New York.

Blocboy JB, who created "The Shoot" Dance has also expressed his issues with them stealing his signature dance moves as well, renaming it and making millions.
