This is America by Childish Gambino is one of the most talked about music videos of 2018 so far.

As well as sparking debate, the song has generated plenty of parodies and the latest is in the style of the video game Fortnite.

It's no surprise that the new music video is called This is Fortnite.

The video, created by the WiziBlimp YouTube channel, sees characters from the survival game recreating key moments from the original video.

Donald Glover, whose stage name is Childish Gambino, released the song and music video This is America in May.

It has been viewed nearly 240 million times since its release and has been endlessly analysed and recreated.

This is Fortnite features a lot of co-ordinated dancing, similarly to the original, and it is also set in a warehouse.

This is Jamaica takes the video style on board but the lyrics have been changed up a bit.
