At least it seems that way with his latest project, a short film co-starring Rihanna.
“Guava Island” debuted on Amazon Prime’s streaming service after Glover headlined at Coachella Friday as his alter ego, Childish Gambino.
The 55-minute breezy thriller stars Glover as Deni Maroon, a musician who toils as a dock worker for resident bad guy Red Cargo (portrayed by “Game of Thrones” actor Nonso Anozie) on the lush Guava Island.

Rihanna plays Deni’s girlfriend, Kofi Novia, a factory worker who also works for Red Cargo and whom Deni lovingly serenades in parts of the film.
Everyone on the island is under the thumb of Red Cargo and when one of Deni’s fellow workers dreams of leaving to go to the United States to open his own business, Deni snickers.
