CHILDISH GAMBINO HILARIOUSLY USES WILL SMITH TO CRITICIZE GRAMMYS IN BET AWARDS SPEECH

Childish Gambino has taken aim at the Grammys and BET Awards by comparing his record at both awards shows to that of Will Smith and Sam Smith.

While presenting the award for Album of the Year at the 2024 BET Awards on Sunday (June 30), the rapper and actor (born Donald Glover) used the opportunity to question why he has more Grammys than the Fresh Prince and the same number of BET Awards as Sam Smith, who is white.

“I’m really excited to be here, but I want to get some things off my chest first,” he said after gracing the mic in front of the Peacock Theatre audience in Los Angeles.

“This isn’t personal but I just feel like I should have more BET Awards. I’m serious. It’s the Black Entertainment Television Awards. How much more entertaining do I have to do? It’s just the math of the fact. It doesn’t really make sense.

“I have more Grammys than Will Smith, which makes no sense. But I have the same amount of BET Awards as Sam Smith,” he added, prompting laughter from the crowd. “Does that make sense to you guys? Me and Sam Smith are neck and neck at the Black Entertainment Television [Awards].”

Gambino then joked: “If I have to, like, do, I dunno, Baby Boy or something, just let me know. I’ll have Jonathan Majors put me in a headlock and shave my head. I’ll do it!”

 

Gambino has won just one BET Award, with “This is America” taking home Video of the Year in 2019. He has been nominated a total of seven times for his work in music, film and TV, including for Best Actor in 2024. (He lost out in that category to Denzel Washington.)

Sam Smith also has a sole BET Award to his name, winning Best New Artist in 2015 over Tinashe, Rae Sremmurd, Fetty Wap, Bobby Shmurda and Dej Loaf.

Donald Glover will be hoping to add more silverware to his trophy collection over the next year as he gears up to release his new movie Bando Stone & The New World and accompanying album.

The Atlanta star premiered the trailer in IMAX theaters last week, with the film finding him playing a fictional pop star named Bando Stone who must survive a post-apocalyptic world, despite his only talent being singing.

The creepy yet comedic video shows him navigating various threats on a tropical island, including giant blood-thirsty creatures, what appears to be massive electromagnetic traps and other potentially extraterrestrial forces.

The movie, due out this summer, will be paired with a new album from Childish Gambino that will serve as his final release under his rap moniker.

It will be his second music project of 2024 following Atavista, an updated version of his 2020 album 3.15.20 which dropped in May.

How do those lyrics in Katy Perry's smash hit go? "Baby, you're a firework / Come on, let your colors burst"? Summer Walker and her new man, Coop Cashington, were certainly people "in awe, awe, awe" after sharing some pics from their night on the Fourth of July. According to The Shade Room, the Georgia born R&B star uploaded the recap to her Instagram, as well as her Story. The pretty fresh couple took a yacht out on the water, presumably to cuddle up privately and get a stunning view of some fireworks. Summer and Coop were patriotic with their beach-ready outfits as well. The "Playing Games" artist sported a cute matching white bikini set along with a same-colored lacey skirt cover and sun hat.

Cashington opted for a shirtless look but threw on some light blue swim trunks and a navy-blue Atlanta Braves flat bill cap. Both look extremely lovey dovey while sharing loads of smooches in addition to candid and plandid poses. Even though they appear to be enjoying each other's company under the night sky, fans are still not seeing how this is going to last long. The Neighborhood Talk's comment section was absolutely filled to the brim with skeptics, with one person writing, "She date anybody that DM her".
