VIDEO: Drake called This Is America “overrated and over awarded” at the first show of his tour after Childish Gambino said it was originally a Drake diss

Drake called This Is America “overrated and over awarded” at the first show of his tour after Childish Gambino said it was originally a Drake diss.

Furthermore, Donald Glover explained the origins of “This Is America” during a recent GQ interview. “The idea for the song started as a joke, to be completely honest,” Childish Gambino revealed. “‘This is America’- that was all we had, was, like, that line. And it started as a Drake diss, to be honest [laughs], as like, a funny way of, like, doing it. But then I was like, ‘This s**t sounds kind of hard, though,’ you know? So I was like, ‘Let me play with it.’ So we just had that for a long time.”

A text scroll above and on the sides of the stage declared: “The overrated and over-awarded hit song ‘This Is America’ was originally a Drake diss record.” Considering that many of the other quotes scrolling during his performance of “Headlines” were culled from negative press coverage Drake’s received over the years, it seems likely this is also a blog headline, but Google hasn’t turned anything up as yet.

So far, reactions to the supposed “hologram” online have been split with some calling him creative and others calling for his retirement.

Some don’t even believe that the “younger Drake” is actually a hologram. With Drake’s It’s All A Blur tour officially underway, the rapper put several surprises on display during the inaugural concert in Chicago.

During a performance of “Look What You’ve Done,” a “hologram” resembling a younger version of Drake hands him a book that he seems to be reading off of while he raps the verses.
