Theories included everything from starring in a movie together to planning an upcoming performance- and they’re all backed up by some pretty solid evidence. Let’s start with the most convincing.
They’re filming a movie together
Rihanna and Glover both are no strangers to the screen. It was recently reported that Glover is working on a project titled Guava Island with director Hiro Murai and that Rihanna’s visit to Cuba lined-up with their filming dates.

It’s not a film, but a music video
Director Hiro Murai has worked on a number of music videos, including Childish Gambino’s statement-making “This Is America.” The two could have an upcoming song together.

Update: The choreographer of Childish Gambino’s “This Is America” has been working on the project in Cuba for the past 3 weeks.

Note: The "movie" could actually be a music video, as the project is allegedly being directed by Hiro Murai (music video director: 'This Is America', 'Airplanes', '3005', etc.)

Guava Island is actually just a decoy title
TV sets filmed in public are known to give out completely made up titles to mislead people and avoid giving away what’s actually going on. "Guava Island" could be the title of a movie, a single or just completely unrelated.
I’m just saying “Guava Island” sounds more like the title of an episode than a single or album title. Don’t y’all think the same?
