Donald Glover’s Father — Know If He Is Related to Danny Glover

All the confusions cleared here!

Donald Glover’s Father — Know If He Is Related to Danny Glover

Donald Glover is a famous singer, actor, and comedian who is well-known by his stage name Childish Gambino. While his professional and personal life stays put, people on the internet have been confused about his family side.

Coming straight to the point, many think Donald Glover is related to Danny Glover, a well-known American actor and director. To clear up all the confusion: No, Donald is not anywhere related to Danny, and Danny is not the dad of Donald.

How did the confusion start?

The confusion about Donald being Danny’s son started years ago. Although the main source behind it is unknown, it might be due to the fact that Donald and Danny share the same last name.

This confusion was even cleared up by Donald in his 2011 song ‘Sunrise,’ where he sang, “Danny Glover, no relation / Always workin’, no vacation.” But the rumors were so strong that Donald’s IMDb page now states, “He is not, despite rumors, related to actor Danny Glover.”

Likewise, in August 2016, the online outlet Parade also addressed the confusion and wrote a short article so that there would not be any confusion in the near future. But this also did nothing, as people continued to wonder if they were related.

Later, Donald again addressed the topic, in a fun way, during his 2018 Saturday Night Live monologue. He had said, “I’m really excited to be hosting Saturday Night Live, and the answer to the question everyone’s asking is, yes, I’m Danny Glover’s father.”

However, it seems to not end there, as all of it started again in 2019 when The Daily Telegraph published news that mentioned Danny as Donald’s father. The news was published to highlight Donald’s tour in Australia.

The piece in The Daily Telegraph read, “A fortnight ago Gambino, real name Donald Glover and son of actor Danny Glover, was announced to headline Byron Bay festival Splendour in the Grass, bolstering the sold-out 45,000 tickets.”

The piece of news was later shared by television producer Mitch Feltscheer on Twitter. In his tweet, Feltscheer showed his disappointment and also clearly mentioned that the two actors are not related at all.

In addition, he asked if the editors of The Daily Telegraph have heard of Wikipedia to fact-check everything before publishing news that has false information.

Tweetrati’s comments on Mitch Feltscheer’s tweet

After Feltscheer made the tweet, Tweetratis were quick to comment and express their opinions. While some used a normal tone, some were there with a sarcastic tone.

One Twitter user had written, “Surely it’s really not hard to check this stuff before they publish,” to which another user had replied with a little sarcastic tone, “It is hard – you have to put effort in – and don’t call me Shirley!”

“Will Michael B. Jordan, son of basketballer Michael Jordan, also be there?” wrote another user with a sarcastic tone. It was soon followed by another comment of the same kind, in which one Tweetrati wrote, “I hope by this logic that I, Phil Ferguson, am the child of Stacy Ferguson, aka Fergie.”

Furthermore, one user pointed out The Daily Telegraph’s bad journalism and wrote, “Imagine being THIS bad at journalism.”

Who is Donald Glover’s father?

By now, the answers to fan queries like “Is Donald Glover related to Danny Glover” and “Is Donald Glover Childish Gambino’s dad” have been answered. Now, let’s move on to other queries like “Childish Gambino dad” and more about Donald’s father and parents.

Born in 1983, the American rapper celebrates his birthday every year on September 25. As of this writing, he is 38 years of age. Likewise, his birth name is Donald McKinley Glover Jr., and his zodiac sign is Libra.

The singer is the son of Beverly ‘Smith’ Glover (mother) and Donald Glover Sr. (father). While his father is a former postal worker, his mother is a retired daycare provider. Likewise, it has been mentioned that his father did many good deeds for his community.

Donald was initially raised in Edwards, California, where his father was stationed, before all of them moved to Stone Mountain, Georgia. Apart from his parents, he has two siblings; a sister named Brianne Glover, aka Bree Glover, and a younger brother named Stephen Glover.

As of this writing, Donald’s father, Donald Glover Sr., is no longer alive. Donald Sr. passed away on December 2, 2018, and the news of his death was announced by the singer during his last stop of his This Is America Tour on December 17, 2018.

While revealing his father’s death, he stated that he wished to play some of his new songs for his dad, a thing that was no longer possible. Nonetheless, the actor was optimistic as he knew that his father had confidence in his son’s work without even hearing them.

On the other hand, Danny Glover only has one child and it’s a daughter named Mandisa, whom he shares with his first wife Asake Bomani. From his marital relationship with his present wife, Eliane Cavalleiro, he is yet to have kids.

To conclude, Donald and Danny aren’t related in any way, either by blood or by any family connection. They are only two renowned celebrities who share the same last name, which led to all this confusion. And if that doesn’t wrap up all the confusion, then there is nothing that will.

Three True-Crime Documentaries Coming to Netflix in April 2024

Netflix has a wide range of TV shows and movies.

Alongside them, Netflix also hosts a lot of documentaries. It has a wide range of documentaries but the true-crime genre is the one that has its audience sitting on the edge of their seats.

There are various true-crime documentaries and docuseries on the platform, including American Nightmare, Girl in the Picture, Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich, Tiger King, and Don’t F**k with Cats: Hunting an Internet Killer, among others.

In April 2024, various documentaries and docuseries are coming to Netflix. However, the three most anticipated true-crime shows are — What Jennifer Did, Crime Scene Berlin: Nightlife Killer, and Files of the Unexplained

Here is all we know about it.

‘What Jennifer Did’ 

What Jennifer Did is an upcoming documentary directed by Jenny Popplewell, the creator of another famous Netflix documentary, American Murder: The Family Next Door.

What Jennifer Did digs into the frightening story of Jennifer Pan, who plotted to murder her parents. The crime, disguised as a heist gone wrong, unravels through police interrogation film and interviews, showing Pan’s network of lies leading up to the incident.

Pan is a Canadian woman who was convicted of a 2010 kill-for-hire attack on her parents, which killed her mother and injured her father. The crime occurred at the Pan house in Unionville, Markham, Ontario, in the Greater Toronto Area. 

According to her exact account, several gunmen entered the house, forcefully retrained her and her parents, then shot them. Her father, Huei Hann, was sent to the hospital, and her mother, Bich Ha, died instantaneously.

A whole new image appears as the law enforcement personnel piece together the facts. Pan plotted the entire operation with her drug dealer boyfriend, Daniel Wong, whom her parents had forbidden her from dating. 

This motivated her to seek his help and devise a plan to murder her parents. This threatening notion was carried out in the form of a burglary, with Pan as the victim. The documentary will also concentrate on her arrest and the legal processes.

What Jennifer Did will be released on April 10, 2024.

‘Crime Scene Berlin: Nightlife Killer’ 

As the name of the documentary suggests, Crime Scene Berlin: Nightlife Killer is based on true events that occurred in Berlin. The series examines the case of several odd and unusual killings.

In 2012, three guys were murdered and robbed in Berlin after being unintentionally drugged. While the murderer was called ‘The Darkroom Murderer’ at the time, just one occurred in a dark room at a homosexual bar in Berlin. 

‘Crime Scene Berlin: Nightlife Killer’ will be released on April 3, 2024.

However, the murderer did look for guys in and around the city’s party scene to prey on victims. Only when one of his targets survived his attack and the assassin attempted to purchase a train ticket with one of the deceased men’s credit cards did the inquiry begin to narrow.

Jan Zabeil and Caroline Schaper directed this true crime show and Netflix will begin streaming the series on April 3, 2024. 

‘Files of the Unexplained’

Files of the Unexplained is an upcoming terrifying eight-episode docu-series that talks about strange encounters, weird disappearances, disturbing incidents, the mystery of mutilated feet washing up, and more. 

This investigative documentary series examines genuine stories that defy explanations and talk about witnessing weird encounters and strange events. 

Files of the Unexplained kind of dives into a similar area as its previous documentaries like Unsolved Mysteries, Haunted, and 28 Days Haunted. According to its plot on Netflix, the series is described as “Eerie encounters, bizarre disappearances, haunting events, and more perplexing phenomena are explored in this chilling investigative docuseries.”

The docuseries will be released on April 3, 2024.

‘Cowboy Carter’ — Everything You Need to Know About Beyonce’s New Album

When Beyoncé announced her 2022 album Renaissance, she made it clear that it was merely the first installment of a multi-act body of work.

And now, after over two years of waiting, the singer has revealed that Act II is on the way — Cowboy Carter. Cowboy Carter, also known as Act II: Cowboy Carter or just Act II, is Beyoncé’s eighth studio album, set to be released on March 29, 2024, by Parkwood Entertainment and Columbia Records. 

It is the second chapter of Beyoncé’s trilogy project, developed during the COVID-19 epidemic, and follows Renaissance (2022).

The then-untitled album was first announced on February 11, 2024, during Super Bowl LVIII, when Verizon Communications aired a Super Bowl commercial, titled ‘Can’t B Broken,’ in which Beyoncé tried to ‘break the Internet’ by doing increasingly outlandish means —  from releasing a jazz saxophone record and performing on top of the Las Vegas Sphere to building an AI version of herself and launching a “Barbey” doll collection.

After all of the ideas failed, Beyoncé closed the advertisement by saying, “Okay, they ready. Drop the new music.” Following the broadcast, the singer shared a preview video for Act II on Instagram. 

The video paid tribute to the 1984 movie, Paris, Texas, which mentions border blasters, and incorporates Chuck Berry’s 1955 song ‘Maybellene.’ The singer’s official website was updated the same day, announcing her eighth studio album, Act II, which would be released on March 29, 2024.

The album’s two main singles, ‘Texas Hold ‘Em’ and ‘16 Carriages,’ were then made available for digital download and streaming. On March 12, 2024, Beyoncé stated that the album would be called Cowboy Carter via a teaser poster with a western saddle and sash. 

She released the album cover on Instagram on March 19, 2024, and teased surprises and collaborations on the album. On March 20, 2024, she unveiled a limited edition unique cover featuring a ribbon that says “act ii BEYINCÉ,” referring to a generational family surname.

On March 27, 2024, she unveiled the album’s tracklist via a themed poster. She shared a graphic on Instagram of the album’s tracklist, which was inspired by classic Chitlin’ Circuit posters.

It includes the titles “Dolly P” and “Smoke Hour Willie Nelson,” implying possible collaborations with Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson. Similarly, ‘Jolene,’ was written on the poster, which netizens believe is a cover or reinterpretation of the Parton’s song of the same name.

‘The Linda Martell Show,’ has also been mentioned on the poster, possibly referring to the first Black woman to achieve commercial success in the country genre. 

The themed poster revealing the album’s tracklist has been confusing a lot of netizens. The following things have been mentioned on the poster, so possibly, these are the songs on the album.

They are —  ‘Texas Hold ‘Em,’ ‘16 Carriages,’ ‘Ameriican Requiem,’ ‘Blackbiird,’ ‘Protector,’ ‘My Rose,’ ‘Bodyguard,’ ‘Daughter,’ ‘Spaghettii,’ ‘Alliigator Tears,’ ‘Smoke Hour Willie Nelson,’ ‘Smoke Hour II,’ ‘Just for Fun,’ ‘II Most Wanted,’ ‘Levii’s Jeans,’ ‘Flamenco,’ ‘Ya Ya,’ ‘Oh Louisiana,’ ‘Desert Eagle,’ ‘Riiverdance,’ ‘Tyrant,’ ‘II Hands II Heaven,’ ‘Sweet Honey Buckin’,’ ‘Amen,’ ‘Jolene,’ and ‘The Linda Martell Show.’ 

It looks like we will only get to know the collaborations and tracklist of Cowboy Carter after its release on March 29, 2024.

‘Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2’ Debuted With 100% Rotten Tomatoes

When Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey was released back on March 10, 2023, it was not received well. 

It was neither liked by critics nor the audience. At the time of writing, it has 3% on Tomatometer out of 62 reviews and a 50% audience score.

Looking at the previous installment, many believed that the second movie — Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 — would not do well. However, it came with a massive comeback.

It debuted with 100% on Tomatometer and at the time of writing, it has 56% with 18 reviews. One of the critics wrote, “Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 is a drastic improvement over its novel predecessor, even if it suffers from some of the same problems.”

“This flawed but enjoyable sequel defies expectations — albeit low ones — and outperforms its predecessor on most levels,” another critic quipped.

By the looks of it, the audience is loving the second movie more than the first. It has an 83% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes with over 250 audience reviews.

Giving reviews on the movie, one netizen wrote, “Really fun twist on a classic. Directing acting and plot was fantastic. Not corny like most movies just fun and worth the watch.”

“This sequel was incredibly enjoyable! Despite my appreciation for the first film, this one surpassed it 1000% with its fantastic kills, (so much fun brutal, gory kills) the enhanced appearance of Pooh and friends, and a captivating storyline that kept me interested throughout. I’m eager to add this movie to my collection,” another commented. 

Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 is a 2024 British indie horror film directed by Rhys Frake-Waterfield and written by Matt Leslie. It is the second installment in the Twisted Childhood Universe (TCU) and a follow-up to Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey (2023), a horror reinterpretation of A. A. Milne and E. H. Shepard’s Winnie-the-Pooh stories. 

The film stars Scott Chambers as Christopher Robin and Ryan Oliva as the eponymous figure, with Tallulah Evans, Eddy MacKenzie, Lewis Santer, Marcus Massey, and Simon Callow in support. 

In a June 2022 interview with Dread Central, Frake-Waterfield showed interest in making a sequel to Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey, stating that he wants to ramp it up even more, go even crazier, and go even more extreme. In September 2023, teaser photographs were revealed revealing the new character Owl. 

The film contains a fresh cast and character designs, and it is set in the Ashdown town rather than the Hundred Acre Wood. Furthermore, the character Tigger, who was absent from the original film, reappeared after entering the public domain in January 2024.

The film’s budget was first rumored to be five times bigger than its predecessor, it was subsequently revealed that the budget had climbed to ten times that of the previous picture. Shaune Harrison, who has previously worked on the Harry Potter franchise and Game of Thrones, was the film’s monster and gore designer, while Paula Anne Booker oversaw the special effects. 

In the movie, Winnie-the-Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, and Owl’s house and life are jeopardized as Robin discovers their presence. Not wishing to remain in the shadows any longer, the group resolves to go on a rampage through Robin’s native village of Ashdown to exact their retribution once and for all.
