Childish Gambino fans are getting excited after the rapper and actor seemed to allude to the pending release of something on the 10th anniversary of his sophomore album, Because the Internet.
On Saturday (December 9), the private @ChildishGambino Instagram account posted a cryptic clip that features what appears to be cheering from a concert crowd while showing the moving blueprints of a home with pillars and a fireplace.
Fans quickly pointed out that the graphics are from the tour Gambino embarked on to support Because the Internet, the Deep Web Tour — and this leaves a wide range of possibilities of what the post could be alluding to.
Could it be a new tour? Could it be new music? Could it be an anniversary tour? Fans will have to wait and see, but for now you can view the post below.

In an interview with Complex in October, Childish Gambino spoke about the possibility of new music — while also noting he was trying harder not be cryptic. The latter doesn’t appear to be working.
“I feel like it’ll be clear sooner rather than later,” he said when asked about the prospect of new material dropping soon. “It’d be better for people to just tune in, I suppose.
“But I’m trying harder to not be cryptic. Tyler [The Creator] is always, like, ‘You’re so cryptic.’ But I’m like, ‘I’m really not.’ I just like suspense, I guess. I think it makes stuff better. But that’s just me.”

When asked what’s most “exciting” him in the studio right now, the Georgia native replied: “I like it when something is naturally functional. I used to try and be like, ‘Oh, this is just a good song and I like it.’ But now I think functionality is key.
“I think back in the day, it was a lot easier to be like, ‘I made this!’ And it was harder to make stuff so people would be like, ‘Oh, this chair, you can’t really sit in it. But otherwise, people wouldn’t have made this chair.’”
He continued: “It’s kind of like art where it became, like, ‘Yeah, this is a pointless piece, which is the point.’ And now I feel like, because it’s so much easier to make everything, when something is actually truly functional and it’s easy to get to, I love that.
“I love it when we make something and I’m like, ‘Oh, I know exactly what this is for. This is for Monday Night Football.’ [Laughs.] You know, that kind of thing. Like, “This is for this kind of Instagram post.’ I like all that shit.”
Childish Gambino’s last album, 3.15.20, arrived over three and a half years ago.
