Wait. Wait a goddamn minute.

Look, this is gonna sound insane. But I recently realized something.

Have we ever seen Donald Glover and Childish Gambino in the same room together? Think about it.

For anyone who doesn’t know who these 2 dudes are, Donald Glover is a beloved actor/writer/comedian and Childish Gambino is a popular musician. I’m a huge fan of both of them.

But after years of being a diehard fan of both of these entertainers, I just realized that they look exactly alike.

I mean, EXACTLY alike.

So I have a theory, please bear with me.

I think Donald Glover and Childish Gambino might actually be the same person.

I know that sounds racist but let me explain.

I have some logic behind this. Here are my 5 main pieces of evidence.

REASON #1- They have the same birthday.

I did some research, and I found out that Childish Gambino and Donald Glover were both born on 9/25/1983 at 2:47am.

This can’t be a coincidence.

REASON #2- They grew up in the same town.

Gambino frequently mentions in his music that he grew up in Stone Mountain, Georgia. Oddly enough, Donald Glover mentions in his stand-up routines that he also grew up in Stone Mountain.

Pretty fuckin suspicious.

REASON #3- They constantly talk about each other.

On the track Hold You Down, Gambino raps “I won’t stop until they say James Franco is the white Donald Glover.” Why is Gambino randomly mentioning Donald Glover? Interesting.

On his 2009 song The Last, Gambino drops some REALLY suspicious lyrics when he says “people tell me I should spit under Donald Glover, but I try to keep my real name undercover.” WAIT A MINUTE. What is Gambino implying here?

REASON #4- They’re dating the same chick.

The photo on the left is Donald Glover taking a nice Sunday walk with his lovely girlfriend. The photo next to it is Childish Gambino hanging with his girlfriend last Tuesday. Notice anything odd?

IT’S 👏🏻 THE 👏🏻 SAME 👏🏻 DAMN 👏🏻 WOMAN 👏🏻

Either Glover and Gambino are the same dude, or this woman is cheating on both of them. These hoes ain’t loyal.

REASON #5- When you look up Childish Gambino on Wikipedia…DONALD GLOVER POPS UP.

Nice try, illuminati.
