Fans of Donald Glover — A.K.A. Childish Gambino — were able to rejoice on Sunday (March 15) when a surprise album from the elusive artist appeared online.
But it turns out the celebration was only temporary. By Sunday night, the album was gone and disappointment from his fans set it.
The 12-track project featured SZA, 21 Savage and pop princess Ariana Grande, among others. It’d been available online for approximately twelve hours when it was scrubbed from the internet.
Glover, who has been focused on his acting career, announced he was retiring the Childish Gambino persona in January 2018. Fans quickly noticed the unexpected project was under his government name.

The 36-year-old father of two hasn’t released a proper album since 2016’s Awaken, My Love!
Since then, his FX show Atlanta took off and he’s been working on a third season. But according to Deadline, the show has been put on hold for at least two weeks as the coronavirus pandemic continues to spread across the globe.
Dude is a fkn weirdo. Just release music and act like you part of the game, f all that weird plan being different release plan.
yo jizz hes one of the best out now, who the hell are you checking for?
Gambino… One of the best out? Maybe if your comparing him to Migos, Future, Lil Baby, Uzi, and other garbage that will be thrown away and forgotten in the future.
Dude is a certified weirdo.
they pulled it back because no one was checking for it.
Dude is super talented. Dope emcee, good singer, funny comedian and writer. If he’s weird, ya’ll are square AF.
Cmon man, I’m not gonna say he isn’t talented at all, but did you seriously just refer to him as an Emcee? He is not an emcee…. He is a rapper. BIG difference. I’d even hesitate to call Kendrick of J Cole true MCs.
Gotta say, not all that disappointed
Album has corona and has been quarantined for 14 days
