Tung Tung Tung Sahur and Ballerina Cappuccina are the first Italian brainrot memes to join the game. Here's what they are all about!
The Tung Tung Tung Sahur Fortnite skin, which leaked a few weeks ago, will land in the Item Shop alongside Ballerina Cappuccina on April 1 at 8 p.m. ET. Although these brainrot skins have been under fire over the past few weeks, Epic Games will proceed with two of the strangest skins since Diamond Hanz in 2021.
Triple T and Ballerina Cappuccina memes explained
Brainrot is all the rage these days, especially in Fortnite. Nothing has taken over the game quite like the ultra-popular Steal The Brainrot creative maps. These pull hundreds of thousands of players consistently, and memes like Tung Tung Tung Sahur, also known as Triple T, and Ballerina Cappuccina are often at the forefront.
Both are considered “Italian Brainrot,” which are AI-generated memes that have taken over the Internet. Ballerina Cappuccina is a humanoid coffee cup in a tutu, usually depicted performing ballet routines. The more recognizable Tung Tung Tung Sahur is an anthropomorphic wooden plank with a baseball bat.
A TikTok user named Noxa created this meme, which is of Indonesian origin, despite the Italian brainrot label. Tung Tung Tung Sahur is a reference to the drumbeat that signals the start of Ramadan. The lore indicates that Triple T and Ballerina Cappuccina are a couple.

Are people excited for these skins?
The sentiment around the Tung Tung Tung Sahur and Ballerina Cappuccina Fortnite skins has Fortnite players mostly split. Some feel as though it’s in bad taste to release these AI-generated memes as skins following Epic Games’ recent employee layoffs.
Although it doesn’t represent all players, a Reddit post on the FortniteLeaks subreddit gives you an idea of where some stand on this collaboration. Many commenters have vowed to hunt down and eliminate anyone using these skins, while some have admitted they look decent.
Overall, this is likely just the beginning of AI-generated brainrot memes in Fortnite. There’s no better time than April Fools’ Day to release them, but there’s definitely some sourness among the fandom.
