Donald Glover has been resonating in many hearts for sometime now. It's no doubt he's definitely made many hearts beat, but recently he's been MIA when it comes to social media. Some could say he's "mastered the internet" according to Complex News, "How does one master the internet? Well, simple the first and only step is to barely use it to the point that when you do make a rare appearance, it becomes an event." -Jinx, Complex News.. In doing so Glover has found a new way to quote unquote "break the internet" sorry Kim but you're not cutting it anymore. Back in December of last year Glover first initially disappeared, digitally, every twitter post and instagram picture just mysteriously vanished. Rumors spread suggesting that he did it for an organization called Blackout For Human Rights which is for protest to the grand jury decisions not to indict the police officers who killed Eric Garner and Michael Brown, and the activity that's been happening in ferguson. This reason alone can't stand for itself because yes we get the protest but as an artist you have to stay connected and rooted to your fans for future projects and promotions, but if he did it in conjunction with the idea that "social media is dead" it makes a little more sense and a little more easier to disappear. “Everything you put on social media lasts forever, so even if I post it for a second, it’s going to be there,” he explained, when asked about why he stopped tweeting. “My fans will find it again. So I kinda just want to be like… respectful almost, of the audience. I wanna make sure that when I put stuff up it’s for a reason. It counts. I don’t wanna just be posting up stuff about my dog all the time.”. And that is exactly what he's done. ON June 1st of this year Glover took to Twitter to answer questions from his fans as honestly as possible. During this time he spoke his views on capitalism, progress in his show and his favorite album to bump right now. Remaining true to his patterns he deleted all tweets shortly after leaving the vans begging for more. And just like he said you can check out the deleted tweets via PigeonsandPlanes.com.

In The Media
As for now we've only had a couple brief glimpses of Glover's new music, new look, and new struggles. He was recently seen back in June at Bonnaroo and debuted a new song presumably off an upcoming album? The song's title has been rumored to be "Me and Your Momma" according to the Bonnaroo song list. He's been keeping it pretty low key until now, this performance looks to be like a possible single with plenty of falsetto and no rapping. Although all audiences say it seems like he's really pouring his heart out, so maybe this is the beginning of "Childish Gambino's" final product before that point comes to an end like former works he's been associated with like "30 Rock" and "Community".

The most recent glimpse of Glover in the media has been in Newcastle, Australia. Gambino was scheduled to perform a sold-out show at the Cambridge Hotel on Thursday night entitled "Childish Gambino & Royalty" thus making the crowd believe they were getting a full set with the Because the Internet star himself. What they got was far from it, they got an hour and a half of jokes and music from Royalty, Gambino's friends and younger brother, Steve G Lover, while Glover chilled on the turntables in the back of the stage. At one point they final caught that the crowd was not vibing it and tried to win them over again by having Childish take the stage. By that point it was too late and they were being driven from the stage with the crowd chanting "obscenities and heckling" them. It's obvious there must've been some miscommunication between Gambino and the Cambridge Hotel and the event promoter Big Apachee. According to Glover and his royal crew, they had another set billed as “Royalty (DJ set) feat Childish Gambino, Steve G the Prince & Jo Swank,” and that went along smoothly earlier that week in Sydney. The Cambridge Hotel took to their Facebook Page to apologize for the miscommunication and took blame for Royalty's not so enjoyed performance with a little shaming on Gambino's end for not "specifying" directly. "To everyone who came to see Childish Gambino show last night we are as disappointed as all of you.

We had the opportunity to present Childish Gambino to Newcastle in an intimate gig and we jumped at the chance as we aim to bring the best possible acts to Newcastle for music lovers. As seen last night, unfortunately we have no control over the acts performance once on stage.

For those that aren’t aware, Canberra and ourselves were 2 additional Childish Gambino shows that were promoted in the exact same way as part of his current tour and we were extremely excited to be presented with this opportunity. Subsequently he didn’t deliver on what was billed and expected by everyone, including us." So, somewhere along the grapvine some wires got crossed, because the show Childish Gambino thought he was being paid to deliver was nothing like the one the audience (or the venue) expected they would get.

Lastly, Glover has made yet another brief appearance shortly after the Cambridge performance on Australia's Triple J Radio to promote seeing him at Listen Out with a cover to Tamiah's "So Into You." Sporting a snaggly beard and white and red striped shirt he's got a new look, and it's quite interesting!
