Childish Gambino had a rough outing in Australia that led to the performer being booed off the stage by a pissed off crowd. According to The Guardian, Gambino was about an hour into his DJ set at Newcastle's Cambridge Hotel when fans started getting unruly and turned on the performer. The reports say that Gambino's appearance was promoted as a full performance and not just a DJ set. Angry patrons turned to the Hotel's Facebook page and make accusations of janky promotion. The venue responded with the following statement:

To everyone who came to see Childish Gambino show last night we are as disappointed as all of you.

We had the opportunity to present Childish Gambino to Newcastle in an intimate gig and we jumped at the chance as we aim to bring the best possible acts to Newcastle for music lovers. As seen last night, unfortunately we have no control over the acts performance once on stage.

For those that aren’t aware, Canberra and ourselves were 2 additional Childish Gambino shows that were promoted in the exact same way as part of his current tour and we were extremely excited to be presented with this opportunity. Subsequently he didn’t deliver on what was billed and expected by everyone, including us.

The Cambridge strives to deliver Newcastle the highest quality live music possible and we will continue to do so.

Like you, we were equally excited to present the act and its only matched by the disappointment in the performance by the act.

Gambino has not commented on the events at this time.

On a lighter note, the multi-talented actor/rapper showed off his singing skills with a live cover of Tamia's "I'm So Into You." During his trip in Australia, Gambino stopped by Triple J and performed the song as part of their "Like A Version" series. Check it out below:
