Artist of the moment Cardi B just let slip that she thought Donald Glover and his on-stage music persona Childish Gambino were two different people, NME reports. 

In a now-deleted tweet, (no points for guessing why it's now deleted!) the Bodak Yellow rapper wrote: "It’s amazing how Donald Glover and Childish Gambino look soo much alike. I think they secretly the same person!!! Soo dope!!’.

Three minutes later, she tweeted: ‘Wait, I’m confuse now?!’.


As some fans would be familiar, Cardi does have a knack of trolling fans online. But the fact that she took down her tweet this time seems to suggest that it was an honest-to-God mistake on her part. Just for the record, Donald Glover is indeed the same person (at least in physical form) as Childish Gambino, who recently gave us a very politically charged music video for 'This Is America'.

Glover also starred as Lando Calrissian in the new Star Wars spin-off 'Solo: A Star Wars Story' and it should only be a matter of time before Cardi figures out that Lando is also Donald Glover!

Surprisingly though, it looks like Cardi is not the only one who is guilty of the mix-up. After Cardi's tweet caused quite a stir, many Twitter users have now come forward to share their moments of realization. 


In our list of 12 artists with the most bizarre backstories, we'd revealed how Donald Glover came to adopt his stage name. The story goes that Glover got his name from a random Wu Tang Clan name generator!  In his own words: "We were all hanging out, chilling and drinking and then we were like, 'oh, Wu-Tang name generator, let’s put our name in.' And we’re putting them all in, and they’re all funny and stuff, and then mine came up and I was like, ‘you guys, it’s not funny anymore. This is something big.’ I just really liked it.”
