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.
