Donald Glover has spoken about the huge reaction to his 'This Is America' video

If you've been anywhere near the internet over the past few weeks, you'll almost certainly have watched Donald Glover's super powerful new music video "This Is America".

Not only has it received a massively positive reaction for the way it tackles gun violence, but it's also been accompanied by a huge amount of analysis breaking down the video's many hidden references.

So what does the man who created it think of all the attention it's received?

Well, apparently he's been steering clear of the internet -- for the time being, at least.

"I'm very sensitive," jokes Glover in the clip above.

So he doesn't like seeing mean things being said about him?

"More like, I see one negative thing and I track that person down," says Glover. "I'll like, go into their Instagram and be like, 'You not so great! That baby's not even that cute!"
