Donald Glover has leaned into comparisons between himself and influencer Jordan Howlett, following a trend started by Method Man. On Saturday (July 6), Glover took over Howlett’s Instagram page, mimicking the influencer’s mannerisms and engaging in a comedic exchange about their identical outfits and the resemblances fans have noted in Howlett’s previous posts. The duo even referenced the viral moment when BET Awards host Taraji P. Henson mistook Howlett for fellow foodie Keith Lee.

In a similar vein, Method Man and Jordan Howlett have previously joked about their resemblance. In a February Instagram video, they addressed fans' comments about their likeness. Howlett, who gained fame on TikTok after experiencing homelessness, began the clip by saying, “One article said Method Man’s older brother shares secret recipes. First, we are not related. And people don’t believe me every time I say this so at this point, I brought Method Man here so he can tell you we not related.” Method Man, appearing in a similar outfit, humorously added, “I mean even though we kinda look alike, he looks like a more stressed out version of me. There’s no relation.”

The video continues with Howlett attempting to shut down the rumors, saying, “We can’t be related but I can’t perform at a high level like he can and he does not have a secret recipe book like I do.” Method Man then reveals his own secret recipe book and reads a recipe for Little Caesar’s crazy bread, mimicking Howlett’s style and leaving the influencer bemused.

Since its posting, the clip has garnered nearly nine million views on Instagram and nearly four million views on TikTok.
