Childish Gambino appears to still have jokes, poking fun at a number of high-profile celebrities — and a well known retail chain — with his latest merch line.
On Saturday night (November 22), the artist also known as Donald Glover performed at Tyler, the Creator's Camp Flog Gnaw festival in Los Angeles, California.
Before the Atlanta star stepped on stage, photos emerged online of a set of "cancel cards" available for purchase at Gambino's GILGA stand, featuring images mocking Drake, Diddy, R. Kelly and someone dressed in a Nazi-style uniform petting Bullseye, Target's dog mascot.
While the Diddy and R. Kelly cards speak for themselves given the recent scandals surrounding both artists, the Drake card — which seemingly pokes fun at grooming allegations levied by Kendrick Lamar during the pair's recent beef — appears to be a continuation of a long-rumored beef between Glover and the Canadian superstar.
With both artists exchanging jabs over the years, Drake once dubbed Glover’s hit single "This Is America" overrated, after which it was then revealed the track was initially intended as a diss aimed at Drizzy.
Gambino has since admitted he didn't hold any animosity towards Drake, although if the rumors are true that the 6 God's verse on Travis Scott's "MELTDOWN" was aimed at Glover, he might not be on the same page as the Community star.
It's worth noting that Glover also has a 7-year-old son named Drake. His other two kids are Legend, 9, and Donald III, 5.
The Target "cancel card" could be in reference to a number of different backlashes the retail chain has faced in recent months.
In January, civil rights activists gathered outside the Target headquarters to call for a national boycott over its decision to phase out its diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, shortly after President Donald Trump signed an executive order aiming to dismantle DEI programs in the public and private sectors.
Then in June, during Pride Month, shoppers criticized the retail giant for prioritizing pro-America merchandise instead of LGBTQ merchandise. A rep for the company confirmed (via Fox Business) that it would be displaying LGBTQ-themed merch less prominently during this year's Pride Month than in past years.
According to Camp Flog Gnaw attendees, a companion book, Cancel Crisis, which explores public scrutiny themes, also came with the cards.
During his set, Childish Gambino revealed that he canceled a large number of dates on his New World Tour last year due to having a stroke and other health issues.
