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, ā€œAttention L.A. #YangGang!ā€

Glover a.k.a. Childish Gambinoā€™s manager retweeted Yang. ā€œYang is solid. Before media gasses shit up just now both will be in attendance and weā€™re raising money for the campaign,ā€ he wrote. ā€œSimple and easy, show up and support or donā€™t.ā€

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 Yangā€™s presidential campaign.

Glover a.k.a. Childish Gambino is no stranger to politics as the Grammy Award-winning ā€œThis is Americaā€ set the world on fire with its video becoming the fifth-fastest music video in YouTubeā€™s 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-acclaimedĀ Guava Island.
