Vince Staples, who’s well known for his impact in the music industry, has now widened his footprint in the TV sphere with a show. In Febuary 2024 The Vince Staples Show was released on Netflix. The first trailer effectively showcased the vibe for the series and, like us, many felt and hoped that it would take cues from Donald Glover’s Atlanta. Staples is well aware of the comparisons between the two programs and discussed his feelings about them with CinemaBlend. He also shed some light on his personal relationship with Glover.

As is the case with so many of us, Vince Staples is someone who appreciates fine art. So it should come as no surprise that he’s seen the work that Donald Glover and his collaborators accomplished with their music-centric dramedy on FX. We was fortunate enough to speak with Staples during the press day for his new series. What we were delighted to hear is that not only is he acquainted with Glover, but he also received encouragement from him while working on his production over at Netflix.
