There are a lot of stage names floating around in popular culture, and sometimes it feels like a full-time job just keeping them – and the real names behind them – straight.

Take Donald Glover and his stage name Childish Gambino, for example. They're one in the same, but not everyone knows this – including, it seems, Cardi B, who accidentally revealed on Twitter last week that she apparently had no idea that the actor and the musical artist are both Glover.

In a promptly-deleted tweet screen-grabbed by fans, Cardi shared the following: "It's amazing how Donald Glover and Childish Gambino look soo much alike," she wrote. "I think they secretly the same person!!! Soo dope!!"

After deleting the tweet, she followed up with another: "Wait I'm confuse now!?"

The reaction from her fans to the Great Glover/Gambino Confusion of 2018 on Twitter was absolutely priceless.

But turns out Cardi wasn't alone in her confusion, judging from a few viral tweets shared just last week:

At least she's in the know now. Cardi's going to be even more confused if she ever catches wind of Teddy Perkins.
