‘Stranger Things’ Caleb McLaughlin Looks To Escape In The ‘Soul Travel’ Video

by

While Stranger Things is set to return this month, actor Caleb McLaughlin is looking to remind the world that he’s multi-faceted with the new “Soul Travel” visual. The 20-year-old wrote, performed, and produced the upbeat love song, asking his lover to get away from the city with him as his life is moving too fast. Throughout the video, you’ll see McLaughlin riding in between women in the car or spending time with his friends. With such a demanding life, his desire to leave it all behind and focus on who he cares about the most is sensible.

This is just the second track that Caleb has ever released, following 2021’s “Neighborhood.” He told Complex that “Soul Travel,” despite being done before “Neighborhood,” is actually a continuation of that song’s story. “‘Neighborhood’ tells the story of a teenager meeting a girl and bringing her to my neighborhood, and then in ‘Soul Travel’ I am talking about going away while driving in the video.”

You can find Caleb playing Lucas Sinclair in Strangers Things’ penultimate season kicking off this month, before closing off for good in Season 5. The show has been running since 2016 and received favorable reviews from fans and critics alike.

DJ Drama Denies Replacing Lil Uzi Vert With Jack Harlow

by

DJ Drama’s active on Twitter today and he’s dispelling any speculation of negativity surrounding his name. Earlier today, Jack Harlow emerged with his sophomore album, Come Home The Kids Miss You. Harlow cements his name as one of the most promising voices of a new generation of hip-hop, and it’s evidently only going to get bigger from here.

Despite how much of a celebratory occasion it is for Jack and the Generation Now crew, some have pointed out some of the issues Drama’s had with other artists. He responded to the rumored tension between him and Drake after the Canadian rapper appeared on “Churchill Downs.” Drama quickly shut it down, claiming that Harlow and Drake have formed a relationship on their own.

Later on, a fan claimed that Harlow served as Uzi’s replacement on Generation Now following rumors of tension between the Philly artist and the mixtape maestro. “At the end of the day , DJ drama is the winner replaced Harlow with Uzi,” a user on Twitter wrote.

In response, Drama said that no one has been replaced on the label. However, the success of both artists is a testament to Generation Now’s ear for talent. “No one could EVER replace @LILUZIVERT. He’s One of One. And guess what… So is @jackharlow,” he wrote. “GENERATION • NOW. Watch what comes next.”

Generation Now is two-for-two. Who will be the next artist to blow up off of their roster? 

Pete Davidson Says He ‘Secretly Hopes’ Kanye West ‘Pulls a Mrs. Doubtfire’

Kanye West is giving Pete Davidson plenty of new material.

During his first stand-up show in three years at “Netflix Is a Joke: The Festival” last month, Kim Kardashian’s new boyfriend opened up about his feud with Ye, even joking that he wishes he would pull a Mrs. Doubtfire.

“Does anybody else secretly hope that, like, Kanye pulls like a Mrs. Doubtfire?” he asked the crowd at the Fonda Theatre. “I come home one day and they’re like, this is the new housekeeper. And, he’s like, ‘What’s up fam?’”

In the 1993 comedy, Robin Williams stars as a divorced husband who dresses up as a female housekeeper to get back into his family’s home and see their kids.

Davidson also joked about the time Ye allegedly claimed Davidson had AIDS. “Kanye told me I had AIDS and he’s a genius so I was like, ‘Oh, f**k,’” he said. “I was like, I better call my doctor. The guy who made College Dropout thinks I have AIDS.”

Davidson believed the rumor and went to the doctor, only to confirm that he doesn’t have AIDS. His fellow comedian John Mulaney suggested that Davidson get back at Ye by spreading a rumor that the rapper has polio.

In newly-released footage from his comedy show, the “SNL” star also brought up his friendship with Jack Harlow. After Kanye featured the “First Class” rapper on DONDA 2, Davidson’s friends asked how it affected their friendship.

“He’s a rapper. That’s his field… It doesn’t hurt my feelings. It would hurt my feelings if I saw like Bill Burr at Sunday Service,” said Davidson, referring to his King of Staten Island co-star.

In the wake of his divorce from Kim, Ye repeatedly targeted Davidson on social media and depicted his kidnapping and burial in his “Eazy” video with The Game. But he has reportedly agreed to stop harassing his estranged wife and cyberbullying her boyfriend.

“Kanye has been laying low and focusing on healing. He is trying to disconnect from all the drama that happened between him and Kim,” a source told “ET.” “He is focused on taking care of himself, getting healthier, and removing himself from all the craziness. He cares deeply about his family and kids. They are his number one priority and he’s working on himself.”
