Childish Gambino Teases Songs With Kanye, Kid Cudi as He Promises World Tour
Childish Gambino is rolling out a new era of music. On Monday’s episode of his Gilga Radio show, the musician played two new songs featuring Kid Cudi and Kanye West, and also announced an arena run of shows called The New World Tour.
After playing Olivia Rodrigo’s “Obsessed” on the radio show and a voice declaring, “If Childish Gambino wants to do something, you let him do it,” Gambino debuted the new Kanye track, seemingly titled “Say Less.”
“You n—-s talk shit. You n—-s cheapskates. You n—-s talk show. You n—-s Ziwe. You n—-s deepfake. You n—-s AI/But you’d never have your mother sitting courtside,” Gambino raps before Ye’s verse.
“I rather have no regrets, but yo my agent said ‘Yo, say less,’” West raps. “N—-s waiting on the throne, like ‘Hoe, say, ‘Yes.’ I took my shoes out the store, they the new Payless/That’s the new God flow, but I don’t pray less.”
In the lyrics, Gambino and Ye drop bars about the Grammys and how you “need a therapist” before Ye compares himself to John Lennon and drops a line about former CNN journalist Don Lemon.
Gambino also debuted a second song featuring Cudi, titled “Warlords.” The track arrives just days after Cudi seemed to throw shade at Gambino on social media. “Kid Cudi, if you got a problem, I’m not here for the beef. Just talk to me. Actually talk to people,” Gambino said on his debut Gilga Radio episode last week.
As for the tour, Gambino has yet to announce dates for it, though he teased arena shows on Gilga Radio. The musician last hit the road in 2019 for the This Is America Tour. The second episode of Gilga radio also featured appearances from Nathan Fielder, Ayo Edebiri, and Eddie Murphy.
Last Sunday, Gambino announced that he’d be dropping two new albums — his first projects since 2020’s 3.15.20. Gambino has been teasing a new album for several months, telling TMZ last December that an album is coming “soon.”
“We’re releasing Atavista, but after that, there’s the final Childish Gambino album — a soundtrack for the fans,” he revealed during a broadcast last weekend, via Uproxx. His Instagram Live included a teaser for the original soundtrack to Bando Stone & the New World, which he said will be the final Gambino album.
He had previously said he was retiring the Childish Gambino moniker, telling HuffPo during a promo event for Atlanta in 2017, “There’s nothing worse than like a third sequel, like a third movie, and we’re like, ‘again?’” he said. “You know, I like it when something’s good and when it comes back there’s a reason to come back, there’s a reason to do that.”
