The esteemed "This Is America" rapper Childish Gambino has announced a London O2 Arena show for later this year.

Already set to grace London's Lovebox festival in a couple of weeks, rapper/performer/comedian/actor has announced a huge headline London show at the O2 Arena.

The multi-talented musician will be joined by rising R&B artist H.E.R. at the 20,000 capacity venue on 4 November.

Childish Gambino made a short appearance at last night's BET Awards, where host Jamie Foxx initially wanted to acknowledge Gambino, but went off-script for a short joint performance of the internet-shaking hit, "This Is America". The Independent posted the performance, which showed Foxx moving away from his usual comedy-driven round ups, stating, "That song should not be joked about."

Tickets for his London headline show at the O2 Arena go on sale 29 June at 9am.
