Columbia Records UK<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nOdunaike will be seen collaborating with the ‘Fnatic UK Crew’<\/strong>, a roster of UK-based esports professionals and content creators, playing \u2018community-driven gaming titles\u2019 such as FIFA, Fortnite, and Call of Duty. The rapper\u2019s addition to the Fnatic lineup is said to be part of the organisation\u2019s \u2018larger mission to continue pushing the boundaries of the gaming and esports sector as it enters mainstream culture,\u2019 according to a release.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lukman \u201cNot3s\u201d Odunaike <\/b>commented on the signing in a release: \u201cGaming has allowed me to experiment with my creativity. As an artist and creator, I\u2019m always looking for things that nobody has done before. I\u2019m thrilled to join Fnatic, because of the sense of community I feel from the organisation, the players and from their fans. I look forward to bringing the worlds of music and gaming even closer together.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
The intersection of esports and entertainment is a bustling sector of the industry. Esports has proven quite nimble in its ability to merge with other industries for fresh and unique products; from <\/span>EA\u2019s new celebrity-driven esports strategy<\/span><\/a> to talent agencies like <\/span>CAA representing 100 Thieves<\/span><\/a>, competitive gaming is experiencing an evolution of sorts bringing it ever closer to the mainstream eye.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Fnatic CEO Sam Mathews<\/b> added: \u201cWe are thrilled to have such a talented musician and creator join Fnatic. We\u2019re always looking to level up and encourage all of our players and creators, to expand their skills and brand and with Not3s, there\u2019s no exception. We\u2019re excited to work with him to continue merging the worlds of gaming and music, for the benefit of culture and for the next generation of gamers.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
Esports Insider says: Esports is certainly no stranger to interacting with outside industries such as music and entertainment. This year has seen that trend skyrocket, with activations such as the one at hand with Fnatic and Not3s, or more recently Swea Lee joining the ranks of XSET as an investor – it\u2019s a pattern we expect to see continue to deepen as time goes on.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n
