1. It’s always been a stupid name. Surprised it took him this long to realize it, in his own way.

2. Some might say the name is… Childish?

3. This is streets behind

4. In other words he and his audience grew up

5. his new persona is Teenage Capone

6. so who’s tour am i going to see then?

7. Donglover flows better anyway

8. I think it’s cool being famous with your government name as the Headline. He sounds content and honestly that’s all that matters

9. [deleted]

10. What about Hector the well-endowed?

11. Dong Lover it is

12. “It sounds kind of stupid.”

13. He changes with time I guess. We all do. Hey its not like anyone would continue using the moniker ‘Kid’ when they’re in their 50’s or something.

14. He will now be known as Butt Soup

15. If it’s “done”, why release an album?

16. I’m convinced that there’s people who still are not realizing Donald and Childish are the same people.

17. I’ve started to realize that everytime I watch hot ones what they say on there becomes headlines

18. I can’t believe no one in this thread or the article mentions the name came from the “Wu Tang Name Generator” web page.

19. A month or so ago I drove by my city’s arena and saw the sign advertising a childish gambino tour coming through this summer. “Damn! That dude sells 18k tickets in every city?” I thought.

    Guess not.

20. Should go the Prince route

21. Rich Purnell is a steely-eyed missile man.

22. Waiting for middle aged corleone

23. This guy is a pretentious, self aggrandizing prick.
