Drake Disses Childish Gambino’s ‘This Is America’ At The First Show Of His Tour

Drake and 21 Savage kicked off their It’s All a Blur Tour on Wednesday night (July 5) at Chicago’s United Center.

During Drake’s 35-song solo set, the monitor is displaying messages to the crowd. One message is a direct shot at Childish Gambino.

In video of the show captured by a concertgoer below, Drizzy is on the stage performing his 2011 song “Headlines” as headlines scroll across the screen. One of them reads: “The overrated and overawarded hit song “This Is America” was originally a Drake diss record.”

Back in April, Childish Gambino sat down for an interview with GQ magazine where he admitted his Grammy winning 2018 single “This Is America” started out as a Drake diss.

“The idea of the song started as a joke,” Childish Gambino told GQ around the 17:40 mark of the interview below.

“To be completely honest, ‘This is America’ [the lyric] – that was all we had was that line. It started as a Drake diss, to be honest, as like a funny way of doing it. But then I was like, this shit sounds kind of hard though. So I was like, let me play with it.”

The Atlanta creator didn’t expound on why he wanted to diss Drake.
