Actor Alfonso Ribeiro, who played Carlton Banks on the hit ‘90s’ sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, is suing the makers of video games Fortnite and NBA 2K for stealing his moves.

Ribeiro filed a suit on Monday, looking to stop Epic Games Inc., the developer behind the massively popular Fortnite, and Take-Two Interactive Software Inc., creators of the NBA 2K video game franchise, from “using, selling or displaying” the dance he made famous, according to CNN.

Fortnite includes a purchasable “emote” dance called “Fresh,” while NBA 2K sells the dance under the name “So Fresh,” both of which are alleged to mimic the moves of the dance made famous by Riberio. Neither Epic Games, Take-Two nor the latter’s subsidiary 2K Games has commented on the lawsuit.

The suit claims that both companies have “unfairly profited” from his likeness, and have also taken advantage of his “protected creative expression,” as the dance in question is “inextricably linked” to his Fresh Prince character Carlton Banks. Epic, specifically, is accused of “faking endorsements” and appropriating African-American culture.

“Epic intentionally induces others to perform these dances and mark them with those hashtags, which give attribution to and endorse Fortnite the game,” the lawsuit said. “Epic has consistently sought to exploit African-American talent, in particular in Fortnite, by copying their dances and movements and sell them through emotes.”

The suit further states that Ribeiro is currently trying to copyright the dance. Ribeiro is requesting damages and that both companies stop selling and profiting from the dance.

Ribeiro first performed “the Carlton” on a holiday episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air in 1991, and most recently during his time on Dancing with the Stars in 2014 – something that Riberio claims further cements his ownership of the dance.

"Twenty-seven years later, The Dance remains distinctive, immediately recognizable, and inextricably linked to Ribeiro's identity, celebrity, and likeness," the lawsuit said.

This is not the first time that Fortnite has been accused of stealing dance moves for use and purchase in the game. Ribiero’s attorney David L. Hecht is also representing rapper 2 Milly and the "Backpack Kid," Russell Horning, in similar lawsuits. Epic Games is accused of stealing 2 Milly’s “Milly Rock” and Horning’s “Floss” dances.
