Fortnite, much like Minecraft and Pokemon GO before it, has influenced some absolute bangers.

Parody songs are nothing new on the internet, with the likes of CaptainSparklez and Misha gifting us with belters for the ages based on their favourite games, and of course, the great creators who have survived on the back of the successes of Fortnite are no different.

But now, perhaps the most popular Fortnite parody song has just become incredibly dangerous.

Chug Jug With You Is Getting DMCA'd

The absolute belter that is Leviathan's "Chug Jug With You" just became a ticking time bomb for content creators, as across a multitude of platforms, users are getting hit with DMCA strikes left, right, and centre.

The song, made as a parody of Estelle's "American Boy", has been a widespread meme for Fortnite lovers and haters alike for some time now, and the label behind the original song is finally taking action against it.

Reports of DMCA strikes have been dished out across Twitter, on behalf of the original song. So if you've got content out there that uses the song, it might be time to put it on private for a bit.

What Is Chug Jug With You?

"Chug Jug With You", the absolute belter from Leviathan (the young YouTuber with the stage name inspired by the Fortnite skin) is probably one of the most popular Fortnite songs going, storming TikTok with ease and dominating YouTube with a current total of 33 million views.

The song has become a big part of the Fortnite community, likely doused in a lot of irony - but even so, it's treasured all the same, and it's a shame to see the song get attacked online with DMCA strikes.

If this is the end of Chug Jug With You - then we salute you, brave soldier. Thanks for the memories, you absolute banger.
