New York: Actor Donald Glover believes he has
had a similar life growing up as the late rapper, Tupac
Shakur.
The 34-year-old, whose hip-hop stage act is called
Childish Gambino, said he shares bizarre similarities with the
"Hail Mary" hitmaker.
"I know everybody likens themselves to Tupac a lot. I am
the new Tupac in a strange way. I grew up similar. I didn't
have a mom in the Black Panthers, but my parents were very
pro-black.
"Also, my mom made me go to performing arts high school.
She was like, 'That's where you need to be'," Glover told
Esquire magazine.
Shakur was killed in a shooting in Las Vegas in 1996 at
the age of 25.
