Childish Gambino was creating some major excitement around the release of his upcoming album Atavista. The reboot of 3.15.20, which is still awaiting a drop date, was announced in mid-March. The Georgia multi-hyphenate has been teasing the record immensely on now two GILGA Radio livestreams. He launched the second just last night, April 21, and fans were not able to contain themselves after hearing one song in particular. Kanye West vocals stunned everyone on a three-minute track during the hour and change event. He has been creating quite the stir online himself after dissing drake on a "Like That" remix and some were wondering if it was real. Well, there is also similar speculation, as AI rumors are swirling for the verse from Kanye on the Gambino track.

The reason for the second-guessing comes from a post on X from the account called Kurrco. The GILGA Radio show has been utilizing the controversial technology through ads and narration. Furthermore, Gambino and GILGA have been farming talent from the AI space for this rollout. Fans in the comments section are noticeably concerned and fed up with the constant talk around AI.
