Childish Gambino just released another much-talked-about music video after the one for “This Is America” threatened to blow up the internet. This time, however, Gambino decided to move on from politics, and poke fun at celebrities in the video for “Feels Like Summer.”
The animated music video has Gambino walking down the street and encountering various characters that resemble today’s biggest music stars. For example, we see Migos playing basketball, Birdman cooking burgers, and Will Smith washing his car. While these rappers received harmless cameos, Childish Gambino decided to be a bit harsher to others.
He poked fun at the feud between Nicki Minaj and Travis Scott by portraying them as two kids who play together on the front lawn and then decide to get mad at each other.
Animated versions of various other characters make an appearance in the video including Snoop Dogg, Jaden Smith, Drake, Future, Wiz Khalifa, Dr. Dre, Diddy, Will Smith, Rihanna, Jay-Z, and Beyoncé.
According to several interpretations, the video for “Feels Like Summer” symbolizes Childish Gambino leaving the hip-hop community. This makes a lot of sense since Gambino announced his retirement from music in 2019.
But let’s wait and see. In the meantime, you can check out the song below.
