While we doubt it, it is possible that Lady Gaga hasn’t heard ofFortniteuntil just recently. The game made mainstream news because of its black hole event, which sawFortnitebecome completely inaccessible for a couple of hours. It stands to reason that Gaga maybe hadn’t heard ofFortniteuntil seeing theblack hole eventcovered by mainstream news outlets, as people who aren’t regular gamers may not really be paying attention to it.
