Childish Gambino Felt Insulted by People Comparing His Show Atlanta to Lil Dicky’s Dave

Back on Feb. 2, Childish Gambino and Maya Erskine stopped by Vanity Fair to participate in a lie detector test as part of the promo run for their Mr. & Mrs. Smith TV series. During Gambino’s time hooked up to the machine, he was asked whether he thought he was more talented than Lil Dicky, and admitted he did believe he was more talented.

“This is gonna start beef but I actually like him, I think he’s a really nice guy,” Gambino said. “I’m just conceded.”

Erskine then asked the Swarm creator whether comparisons between Atlanta and Dave were insulting.

“Yeah, I don’t remember any critics. I think it was just people but I definitely was insulted,” Childish Gambino continued. “Not that I think Dave is bad because I actually really think Dave is a good show. I just don’t think they have a lot in common.”

Erskine was then informed by the person conducting the lie detector test that what Gambino had said was true.
