Former Maryland basketball players Jared Nickens and Jaylen Brantley are suing the creators of Fortnite and accuse the video game title misappropriated the "Running Man Challenge" dance they popularized online.
The two filed a federal lawsuit accusing Epic Games Inc. of unfairly profiting from the dance they performed on social media in 2016. Nickens and Brantley also appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show that same year as a result of the dance's fame.
Fortnite players can purchase the "Running Man" dance for their characters to perform.
