To many fans of Donald Glover, it’s no secret that he also goes by the musical stage name Childish Gambino. But, apparently, many fans of Donald Glover and Childish Gambino didn’t know they were the same person.
For reference, this is Donald Glover.
This is Childish Gambino:
So much talent. One person. We know, it’s a lot to comprehend. And if you’re overwhelmed, don’t worry, you’re not alone. On Thursday night, Cardi B tweeted that she thought Childish Gambino and Donald Glover looked extremely similar:
“It’s amazing how Donald Glover and Childish Gambino look soo much alike,” she tweeted. “I think they secretly the same person.”
The tweet has since been deleted, but a quick poking around on Twitter indicates that her sentiments have been shared by many:
I’m going to confess something that has been weighing heavily on my heart for a while. I did not know that Donald Glover and Childish Gambino were the same person. I am ashamed.

I was individually a huge fan of Community, loved "Awaken, My Love!" and particularly 'Redbone' – and was completely blown away by 'This is America' the video.

The movie hasn't started yet but there's no way any part of Solo is going to be better than the guy LOSING HIS MIND outside the theater realizing Childish Gambino and Donald Glover are the same person

Childish Gambino appeared on @nbcsnl, and my sister said she loved him. I asked her if she liked Donald Glover, and she said she didn’t know who he was 😬 #SNLFinale

I’m at work minding my business & my coworker asks me if I know Donald Glover. I said yes & he proceeds to ask doesn’t he look like Childish Gambino. I thought he was kidding, but he really didn’t know they were the same person lmao

So, whether you know him as Lando from “Solo: A Star Wars Story” or as his rap alter ego in “This Is America,” he’s still just one singular dude.
