In a groundbreaking moment for African music, Ghanaian singer-songwriter Moliy has officially made history by becoming the first artist from Ghana to have her song featured in the global gaming phenomenon, Fortnite. Her breakout hit, “Shake It To The Max (Fly),” featuring Silent Addy, has been transformed into a purchasable “Bend Back” Emote within the game’s item shop, propelling Ghanaian music onto one of the world’s biggest digital stages.
This monumental integration instantly exposes Moliy’s infectious sound to Fortnite’s massive, multi-generational audience, estimated to be hundreds of millions of players worldwide. The “Bend Back” Emote capitalizes on the song’s widespread viral success across social media platforms like TikTok, translating its cultural resonance directly into a highly influential gaming space and cementing its status as a global sensation.
Moliy’s achievement is not just a personal triumph but a significant milestone for the entire Ghanaian music industry. It signifies a pivotal moment of global recognition, underscoring the increasing influence and commercial power of African creativity and the Afrobeats genre in previously inaccessible mainstream entertainment arenas, from music charts to popular video games.
Moliy’s Fortnite Emote Ghanaian Artist feature solidifies her rapid international rise and her position as a leading voice bridging Alternative Pop and Afrobeats. “Shake It To The Max” has been a defining track for her in 2025, and its inclusion in Fortnite guarantees its longevity and further amplifies its global reach, cementing her legacy as a trailblazer.
