Looks like Rihanna and Donald Glover have a collaboration in the works. Though details are pretty much nil, the Twitter account FentyStats has been posting shots of RiRi in Cuba all week, hash tagging them “Guava Island.” Whatever “Guava Island” is, the singer’s creative director, junior creative director and makeup artist have all been photographed in Cuba with her. The biggest reveal, however, may have come Wednesday, Aug. 15, when a pic surfaced showing Rihanna playfully hanging out with Donald Glover. Pointing to a report from the Cuban magazine Vistar, LaineyGossip says some are saying the project is a film directed by Hiro Mirai, the director of “Atlanta” and of the video, “This is America,” from Donald’s Childish Gambino alter ego. Lainey also reports fan whispers about a forthcoming “movie-musical” from Ri and Donald, before noting that Donald’s got a Childish Gambino vibe in the photo of him and Rihanna — not a Donald Glover-the-actor vibe. “Shirtless with a gold chain and beltless pants is exactly the look Childish Gambino wore in ‘This Is America’ and his latest performances,” Lainey’s sleuth explains. One thing we do know for sure: Childish Gambino is slated to perform at Rihanna’s fourth Diamond Ball on Sept. 13 in New York City, so theories about their Cuba collab should probably also take into account the fact that Rihanna launched a global education Diamond Ball initiative last year.
