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.

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

This isn't the first parody of This is America - and it probably won't be the last.

One of our favourites mixes Carly Rae Jepson's track Call Me Maybe with This is America visuals - and Donald Glover's moves are weirdly in time...
