After performing “Sober” live for the first time ever, Childish Gambino decided to chop some things up with Peter Rosenberg last night in Los Angeles.. After his upcoming Gangsta Grillz project came up in the conversation, he figured dropping Drake’s name was the move.
After comparing the two, this is what Childish said:
“I don’t want people to think that I hate Drake. I don’t hate Drake at all. I really like Drake, if not for no other reason than he makes me better. He really does. I had to fight that all the time. I knew when I was doing Childish Gambino from the beginning, like, ‘They’re not gonna let me do this. They already have a rapper, singer, actor guy who’s Black.’ That’s really what it was. ‘If he was White, it would be different.’ They’d be like, ‘They’re not the same.’ It’s very specific. I don’t dislike Drake. I think he’s a really good writer and rapper. Right now I definitely feel I’m better than him, only because I’m working harder than him right now. If he came in and was like, ‘Let’s rap.’ I’d be like, ‘Oh, I’m gonna kill you.’ [Laughs] But, right now. Maybe he’s got something up his sleeve.”
