The skit, which was apparently cut for time, begins with host Natasha Lyonne informing Davidson that Michaels is depressed because the two never got to make a rap video together. “You know, that guy has literally done everything for me, so I’m going to pay him back by doing this rap video exactly the way he wrote it,” decades Davidson.

Harry Styles just released his third album, Harry’s House, and the 13-song project just further proves that the former One Direction star is heavily influenced by classic rock. As a solo artist, Styles has garnered comparisons to Mick Jagger, but from the sounds of it the Rolling Stones frontman isn’t too pleased with those. During an interview with the Times UK, Jagger made some interesting comments about the pop star. After admitting he has “an easy relationship” with Styles, the rock icon made some subtle jabs. “I mean, I used to wear a lot more eye make-up than him. Come on, I was much more androgynous,” Jagger noted. “And he doesn’t have a voice like mine or move on stage like me; he just has a superficial resemblance to my younger self, which is fine — he can’t help that.” Styl...
