Polo Gwent back to fashion roots for his latest performance.
To commemorate its first-ever metaverse capsule, which will accompany a physical collection sold exclusively onralphlauren.com, the fashion brand hosted a Twitch livestream in New York on Nov. 3.
And among the industry’s streamers and influencers, Ralph Lauren also tapped rapper Polo G for a performance at the event, the award-winning rapper sharing with PEOPLE exclusively that this partnership has been a “dream.”

On Nov. 4, the brand also marked a milestone as the first luxury brand to “cohost a global player tournament in Fortnite—The Polo Stadium Cup–where participants will have the opportunity to earn in-game rewards.”
The collaboration might give Polo G a leg up in his gaming skills, the artist admitting, “I play Fortnite here and there — I’m not that good so I gotta practice more.”
However, he’s worked with the renowned game on the music front with his song “Fortnite,” which eventually made it onto his albumHall of Fame 2.0.
“My first real memory of wearing RL was in the 8th grade. I wore it throughout the school year but for my luncheon I wore this white & orange striped one with a navy blue horse that was my favorite Polo shirt,” he shares.

“I loved the sneakers and the music, the entire vibe of the show was dope too. You just felt important even being there,” he remembers of the collection.
Another way the “RAPSTAR” artist shares his personal style? His collection of tattoos.
“My most meaningful tattoo is the one for my two grandmothers who passed, I have their names with lyrics from my song ‘Through Da Storm’ — ‘know my grandma still with me when It get cold I feel her spirit,'” Polo G shares with PEOPLE.
In fact, all his body art has a story and he doesn’t regret a single tat — “all of them are meaningful to me,” he shares.
