Don Cheadle and Freddie Gibbs Assure Fans They’re ‘2 Different People’

To be clear, Don Cheadle didn’t release a Grammy-nominated rap album, and Freddie Gibbs wasn’t in Iron Man 3.

Apparently, people kept confusing Cheadle, 58, for Gibbs, 41, and vice versa, so the twosome clarified the situation on Sunday, November 19, when they both attended the same Los Angeles Lakers game. Gibbs posted a video on X (formerly Twitter) in response to a fan mentioning that the broadcast showed him at the game.

“That was big bro. That wasn’t me,” the “1985” rapper captioned the video, which showed him alongside the Hotel Rwanda actor. In the clip, the pair reassured fans that despite their similarities, they are “not the same human.”

“It’s not me,” Gibbs continued. Cheadle, meanwhile, insisted, “We’re two different people. He’s him and I’m me.”

Gibbs then claimed Cheadle “was in his seat [and] I was in my seat.” At that point, Cheadle asked, “Everybody understand?” hoping this mistaken identity issue would be settled. The pair ended the video by breaking into laughter before exchanging a hug.
