Alright, so here’s the deal: Ninja, the soon-to-be-blue-haired-fast-paced Fortnite legend, just came out with a tweet basically saying, “Yeah, I’m the king.” Need I say more? The internet went crazy. Full-on keyboard-warrior-level rebuttals.

Now, let’s take a look at this tweet. Ninja posted a clip with a caption stating, “Ninja really thinks he’s the king…” and linked to some sets of gameplay. No biggie, right? Well, really big. Replies started coming in fast and salty. Some gals were like, “Yeah, he IS the king,” whereas most of the others stated basically, “Nah, bro, sit down.”

XTCshadow2 fired back with “He is the blitz boss so that makes him more of a king than you are.” Ouch! Shade all the way. Thed MrFrozenFN followed with “You decided you were ‘the king’. Nobody else. So no you aint ‘the king’.” Damn disrespect indeed.

But wait—it carries on. Some gamers were theatrically inclined. From Spawn added: “Now this is entertainment.” And honestly? Same. Watching two basis Fortnite competitors duke it out, even though it’s playful banter, is better than most reality TV out there.

Then we get into that whole “who you rather watch” debate. Midnight chimed in with, “welp id rather watch him then you sooo yea id say hes the king.” Brutal. But not everyone was down for Ninja. Sfisodl_12 fired back: “nah you are the main king,” showing some love to NickEh30.

Chaos just kept going from there. Enderboss007 came in with “King ain’t worth sh but @Ninja is world cup champ.🤣” Again, okay, fine, fair enough. I guess Ninja did win the World Cup of Fortnite. But is that enough to consider him the king? That’s the million-dollar question.

Obviously, there were those who just didn’t care at all. “No one cares,” muttered Jack Skeldon. Short, sweet, and kind of savage. Tanner Schultz kept to the simple line: “Ninja is more of a king than you are.” No elaboration, just facts (or opinions, depending on who you ask).

Then, who would be the real MVP of this whole thing? That has to be Matthew Gantt. Dark mean raging soul (yes, that is their full display name). They didn’t reply just once, oh no. They replied four times, with gems like “One v one me” and “You always complain about stuff in Fortnite. One v one me.” Somebody’s ready with a challenge.

So, what’s the conclusion? Is Ninja the king? Or NickEh30 the real MVP? The traded commercials of another day in the wild world of Fortnite drama? Honestly, in the court of gaming liquidation, that doesn’t even matter.

And when you need another bit, consider this: Of course, Ninja is the World Cup winner, but NickEh30 has a loyal band. So someday, maybe, uh, the guy who’s live right now is the real king. Something like that.

Either way, this won’t put to sleep the debate. Popcorn’s already in hand; let’s switch to Twitch and be entertained. Because when it comes to Fortnite, the drama is just as good as the gameplay.

And that’s the tea. Or should I say… the shield potion? Yeah, that didn’t land. Whatever. You get the point.
