Donald Glover, who also goes by the stage name Childish Gambino, raps about being bullied while he was at school in the song, “B****, Look At Me Now.” He spits, “Picture me in sixth grade, overweight, overbite / Got my fake Adidas on, whiting out the fourth stripe / Kid named Vincent got it out for me, I hate that guy.” Glover also spoke about his middle school experience during a 2011 “George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight” interview. The actor opened up and shared, “When I was in 7th grade, I got bullied so bad. I got called the F-word, the N-word, all the time, and I felt so bad about myself. “
Oh, how things have changed! Glover changed his narrative and has become one of the most popular people on the planet. Where once he was powerless, he now holds all the power — and he’s certainly not shy about flaunting his well-earned success. Thanks to his past experiences, Glover understands people and how they think, and he explained their fickle nature in an interview with The New Yorker. “I don’t really like people that much. People accept me now because I have power, but they still think, ‘Oh, he thinks he’s the golden flower of the black community, thinks he’s so different.'” Glover then added, “But I am, though! I feel like Jesus. I do feel chosen.” Chosen or not, we stan a king.
