Five days after Childish Gambino premiered his music film Guava Island at Coachella, his co-star Rihanna has finally acknowledged its existence. “Wow!†she wrote on Instagram Wednesday night. (Again, five days later.) “The response to #GuavaIsland has been quite overwhelming. So happy you guys felt the beauty in this film! Childish Gambino you are a true gem to the culture. I’m so proud of you and the work you put into making this film. I felt how close this was to you and your entire team!â€
In Guava Island, Rihanna plays Kofi Novia, girlfriend of Gambino’s character Deni Maroon. As Kofi, Rihanna very memorably says that Deni would never be able to write a song as beautiful as her. (Although a certain star of The Aviator might like to try!) See Rihanna’s full, five-day-late Instagram below:
