Childish Gambino a.k.a. Donald Glover and Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang have teamed up for a not-so-secret pop-up fundraiser in Los Angeles on Thursday (December 19).
Glover a.k.a. Childish Gambino posted the announcement on his Instagram story, which was unexpected as the star has not endorsed any candidate publicly since the 2020 Presidential campaign began.
Yang made the announcement on his Twitter.
The Democratic candidate wrote, “Attention L.A. #YangGang!”

Glover a.k.a. Childish Gambino’s manager retweeted Yang. “Yang is solid. Before media gasses shit up just now both will be in attendance and we’re raising money for the campaign,” he wrote. “Simple and easy, show up and support or don’t.”

Rather than the typical political fundraiser, the event will be modeled after a pop-up shop with a merchandise collaboration between Glover a.k.a. Childish and Yang being sold. The sales will contribute to Yang’s presidential campaign.
Glover a.k.a. Childish Gambino is no stranger to politics as the Grammy Award-winning “This is America” set the world on fire with its video becoming the fifth-fastest music video in YouTubeâs history to reach 100 million views after only nine days.
The pop-up fundraiser highlighted a year of huge success for the multimedia star with the box office success of The Lion King and the critically-acclaimed Guava Island.

there is a lot of stupidity in american politics right now, so i say yes to Yang. Give me my $1000/mth UBI and lets see the stupid results.
Yang Gang!
This celeb endorsement bs didnât work for Killery. She had everyone in her pocket and still lost to a man who has NEVER been in politics! Lol Pantsuit Mafia had Beyonce and a billion dollars wasted on her name. Beyonce also endorsed that goofball Beto OâRourke and look how far that douche got! Besides this idiot Gambino fool has no pull with anyone.
Youâd have to be really stupid to think Childish Gambino isnât getting paid. Hell, he didnât even waste a tweet or media post on Yang; his manager is behind the push. Gambino is âdonatingâ the funds collected, but he still got paid from another account.
This is anti-semitic
