Donald Glover Retires Childish Gambino
Donald Glover revealed he’s shedding his former Childish Gambino alias in July. He told The New York Times living under the moniker was “no longer fulfilling.” The rapper/actor continues, “I just felt like I didn’t need to build in this way anymore.” Glover refers to his time as Childish Gambio as an extension of his younger self. “I think that kid really wanted a home,” he says.
“I grew up in the ’80s and ’90s — there was Oprah, Michael Jordan, Eddie Murphy; not a lot of alternatives for Black people.” The 40-year-old also opened up about how marriage and fatherhood have changed him: “I’m not 25 anymore,” he tells the outlet. “You give what you can, but there’s beauty everywhere in every moment. You don’t have to build it…You don’t have to search for it.”
