Donald Glover Teases a Childish Gambino Return ‘Soon’

Childish Gambino

Get ready for the return of Childish Gambino in 2024. TMZ caught up with the rapper and actor outside the Greenwich Hotel in New York City, who revealed that he had been working hard in the studio and be on the look out for new music “soon.”

This wasn’t the first time Gambino teased music, he gave a hint at the 2023 Golden Globes. When explaining his outfit before the show, the Atlanta producer wanted to be comfortable enough to sit in a chair for three hours.  A sharp-shouldered jack over cream silk pajamas is what Yves Saint Laurent came up with for Glover.  Another thing that stood out about Glover was his mustache!  He is sporting it pretty thick these days. 

The Feels Like Summer rapper was at the 80th Annual prestigious awards show hoping to win Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series for Atlanta.  Unfortunately, he didn’t get the trophy Jeremy Allen White won for his role as Carmy in The Bear.

Since Atlanta came out, Donald Glover has taken a break from Childish Gambino.  Can you blame him?  The TV series has been regarded as one of the best shows of this generation!  Atlanta has won Golden Globes, NAACP Image Awards, EMMY Awards, and the Writer’s Guild of America Awards.  Although Donald Glover has been successful, Childish Gambino isn’t going away.  While talking with Laverne Cox, she asked him about his music career, to which he responded that he is making music and still has a thing for it.

“I’m making music right now.  I love it.  I’m actually in the studio.  I’ve been bringing people in, like secret people, working on little things.  I’ve been just making it for fun right now.  But soon something will happen.  I promise.”

In the trailer, set to the tune of Shirley Bassey’s rendition of “(Where Do I Begin) Love Song,” Glover and Erskine are seen in action as an undercover agent couple. The teaser offers a sneak peek of high-speed chases, intense shootouts, and daring escapes from explosions. 

While the exact plot details remain under wraps, it is clear that the married duo leads a double life, posing as a regular couple while carrying out dangerous missions.

Mr. & Mrs. Smith brings a fresh and modern twist to the 2005 film that starred Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie as rival assassins. As an executive producer, Glover aims to deliver a gripping series combining thrilling action sequences and complex interpersonal relationships.

The highly anticipated series is set to premiere on February 2, 2024, exclusively on Prime Video

Donald Glover Teases a Childish Gambino Comeback at the Golden Globes

Childish Gambino

Words by: Brandon Simmons

The 2023 Golden Globe Awards were last night; you know what everyone is talking about: fashion!  At every award show, besides who the winners are, people are tuned in to see who is wearing what.  And per usual, there were many looks we loved and a couple of looks we could do without.  One man, in particular, caught everyone’s attention with his comfortable ensemble.

Donald Glover, aka Childish Gambino, showed up to the Golden Globes in silk pajamas.  When explaining his outfit before the show, the Atlanta producer wanted to be comfortable enough to sit in a chair for three hours.  A sharp-shouldered jack over cream silk pajamas is what Yves Saint Laurent came up with for Glover.  Another thing that stood out about Glover was his mustache!  He is sporting it pretty thick these days. 

The Feels Like Summer rapper was at the 80th Annual prestigious awards show hoping to win Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series for Atlanta.  Unfortunately, he didn’t get the trophy Jeremy Allen White won for his role as Carmy in The Bear.

Since Atlanta came out, Donald Glover has taken a break from Childish Gambino.  Can you blame him?  The TV series has been regarded as one of the best shows of this generation!  Atlanta has won Golden Globes, NAACP Image Awards, EMMY Awards, and the Writer’s Guild of America Awards.  Although Donald Glover has been successful, Childish Gambino isn’t going away.  While talking with Laverne Cox, she asked him about his music career, to which he responded that he is making music and still has a thing for it.

Freeway Rick Ross Wants Donald Glover To Play Him In Upcoming Biopic

freeway ricky ross

In a recent interview with VladTV, former drug kingpin Freeway Rick Ross and director Mike Ho shared some insight into Ross’s upcoming biopic. Ross shared that he has been working on his documentary for 35 years and has been looking for the right director to handle his story with care, unlike the show Snowfall, which is loosely based on his story.

“It be hard for me to sit there and watch sometimes,” Ross said. “It’s so much bullshit. This is really history that they’re fucking with. Because people know that it’s some real in that show. This is really our history. This would be like taking slavery and playing with slavery; that’s how delicate the story really is. And for somebody to take it and butcher it up and do what John Singleton did; or allowed them to do. I don’t care who did it.”

Director Mike Ho seemed eager to be working wit h Ross on bringing his story to the big screen. He too wants to handle Ross’s story with care and give audiences the “raw” and “uncut” story of Ross’s life.

“And one of the first things that I said when I sat down with him was like, if we’re gonna tell your story, we gotta be unsafe,” Ho said. Because I feel like when everyone approaches something with him, even the shows that he’s not happy with, all the stuff you hear about Freeway, it’s always a safe version of him. We’ve never seen the raw and uncut true story of what Ross is saying.”

When asked if there is a certain actor they are eying for the starring role, both men agreed that Donald Glover would be the best person for the job, even saying that he might make a good co-director as well.

“I’m always down to collaborate,” Ho said. “As a director, every actor is a director to me in the sense of understanding a scene and getting things done. But I think he would be brilliant for it. He was the first name that kind of came up over dinner. And he’s just a genius at what he does.”
