But Wes exclusively tells Page Six it’s not about the money. Keha : Childish Gambino : Katy Perry : Justin Timberlake : Taylor Swift. A rapper named Kidd Wes is suing Childish Gambino for millions over the 2018 hit This Is America. Shortly after the video dropped, he performed the song as his second musical spot on “SNL,” again shirtless but this time accompanied by an elaborate laser-ish lighting and several dancers wearing school uniforms the song’s political implications were less obvious in that performance. Calling all Sk8r Bois, Hollaback Girls and Beautiful Souls: If youre Young. The song’s lyrics have a similar duality, shifting quickly from lighthearted (“I know you wanna party/ Party just for me/ Girl, you got me dancin’/ Dancin’ free”) to heavy (“This is America/ Police be trippin’ now/ Yeah, this is America/ Guns in my area”). ways Doin all the wrong shit for the right reasons Sprinklin midnight game, call it night seasoning Haters get salty give em cholesterol Trill O.G. In the video’s closing moments, SZA (or someone who looks an awful lot like her) makes an appearance, sitting on a car and looking briefly at the camera.

(This week's "FUBU" flashback episode on bullying was one of the most heartfelt half hours in recent TV history.In the middle of his appearance as host and musical guest on “Saturday Night Live,” Donald Glover (aka Childish Gambino) dropped a video for a new song that veers between comedy, commentary and surrealism called “This Is America.” Filmed in a large warehouse, the deeply nuanced video features a shirtless Glover dancing between scenes that alternate between humorous (his facial expressions) and disturbing (he pulls out an assault rifle and shoots both a hooded captive and, apparently, a gospel choir). Meanwhile, Glover's been busy breaking form on FX, where he's successfully reimagined the American sitcom on his hit show, Atlanta, with its surreal look at life for everyday black folk. Assisted in production by the faithful Ludwig Goransson and DJ Dahi (Kendrick Lamar, Vince Staples.), Childish Gambino revisits black music with a twist ( 53.49) and pushes it to its limits, mixing rap, rave and industrial on 32.22 or on the eight minutes of 24.19, somewhere between Prince and Bohemian Rhapsody. The exceptions, like the undeniable talent of Eddie Murphy or the unprecedented tenure of Kenan Thompson, are extremely rare. It's doubly funny considering the history of black players on SNL is one of talented performers, often underutilized and unappreciated, being forced to exit in order to find their true comedic voice - from Chris Rock to Jay Pharoah. Features verses from Lupe Fiasco's 'American Terrorist 3' and from Childish Gambino's & Bun B's 'R.I.P.'.

"I'm an actor, a writer and a singer - some people like to call me a triple threat, but I kinda like to call myself just a threat," Glover said in an opening monologue that satirized his seeming ability to "do anything." The one thing he'd failed at was getting cast on the sketch comedy series, despite auditioning for SNL twice, as he informed the audience before spending the rest of the monologue disastrously trying to one-up other cast members.
