In June, Glover told The New York Times earlier this year that he planned to retire from his musical career as Childish Gambino as it was no longer fulfilling for him anymore. He dropped his final studio album Bando Stone & the New World in July.
“It really was just like, ‘Oh, it’s done,’” he said. “It’s not fulfilling. And I just felt like I didn’t need to build in this way anymore.”
He’s best known for his 2018 hit “This Is America,” which skyrocketed to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The politically-driven track took home four Grammys in 2019, including song of the year and record of the year, two of the most coveted category wins.
