Twitter is no stranger to some of the internet’s most charged debates that often leave the rest of us squinting and scratching our heads. On Wednesday evening, one such debate broke out on the platform as users began to argue about whether or not Donald Glover is better than Jamie Foxx.
Though Glover is a successful singer, song writer and actor in his own right, the idea that The Lion King voice-actor was better then a seasoned entertainer like Foxx was quickly torn apart.

A fair few agreed that the two stars shouldn’t even be compared anyway.
I see people comparing Donald Glover to Jamie Foxx
Firstly, don’t do that. They’re both greats.
Donald is an artist
Foxx is an entertainer
