AceShowbiz - Donald Glover, who goes by Childish Gambino as a rapper, got booed after recently playing a show in Australia. According to multiple sources, fans who expected the rapper/actor would play a full concert were left disappointed when he delivered a DJ set instead.

As reported by Newcastle Herald, the show taking place at the Cambridge Hotel in Newcastle got off to a weird start. Gambino was "virtually silent for the first 40 minutes" while rap group Royalty, which everyone thought would be a supporting act, was the one performing for the audience.

Gambino eventually took the mic and performed some of his tracks, but that wasn't enough to satisfy the angry fans. The Guardians said that by the last song of the set, which lasted more than one hour, the crowd "chanted obscenities" before rushing the stage after Gambino left.

Following the incident, the venue issued an apology in a statement posted on their Facebook page. They said they were "as disappointed as" fans attending the show, because Gambino "didn't deliver on what was billed and expected by everyone, including us."
