Drake sent the precedent for actors becoming rappers, when he went from being “Degrassi’s” Aubrey Graham to what he is now. A lesser-known success story is Childish Gambino. Real name Donald Glover, he rose to fame on NBC’s “Community.”
However, Childish Gambino began pursuing music more seriously in 2011 and became a rap star by 2012. At the beginning of 2016, a promo premiered for “Atlanta,” a new FX series. The series made its premiere on FX, just tonight.
In only a few hours, “Atlanta” is the most-popular show on television. It is dominating Twitter with several trends, including Paper Boy (Brian Tyree Henry), the “J.R. Crickets” scene, and the lemon pepper wings. Donald Glover/Childish Gambino is owning Twitter with his new series.
