From sadness and sympathy to outrage and uproar, celebrities have joined the chorus calling for action in the wake of multiple mass shootings on American soil, namely the horrific incident at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, on Saturday (August 3).

As Twitter was immediately set alight with conversations regarding gun control and reform of the laws that govern the purchase and obtainment of high powered weapons, President Trump joined the discussion to say:

To many the tweet above, as well as those that followed it from his official Twitter handle, did little to address the bigger issue of ‘gun control.’  Among the many were politicians Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, and Cory Booker as well as entertainers Rihanna, Khalid, Cardi B, and more.

Summer may be coming to a close but Khalid is still vibing hard through the season. Evidence of this is found in his new video for ‘Right Back’ – the latest release from his first chart-topping album, ‘Free Spirit.’

Tapping rapper A Boogie With Da Hoodie to assist, the Stargate-produced tune follows the success of ‘Spirit’s leading singles ‘Talk’ and ‘Better’ (both peaked in the Hot 100’s top 10).

“She got every pair of Chanel out in SoHo/ Tried backdoor, hit the city for sure/ And when you get dressed up, you take hours/ Baby girl, you know you can do whatever,” Boogie spits on the opening verse.

Is it set to follow in its predecessors’ footsteps?  Listen inside and tell us:

With just a few weeks to go before Ed Sheeran unleashes his star-studded ‘No.6 Collaborations Project LP,’ the Pop force has premiered the video for the Khalid assisted ‘Beautiful People.’

Directed by Andy McLeod, the visual for the Max Martin + Shellback production follows a content couple who are dropped into a world of excess and high society, yet don’t feel obligated to fit in with their new settings.

On working with Khalid, who joins the likes of Bruno Mars, Cardi B, and Eminem on ‘No.6,’ Sheeran said:

 “Khalid’s got an undeniable, soulful voice and I knew he would be perfect for this track. I think we both connect to the song in the same way and I’m really happy we got to work together.”

Khalid‘s ‘Talk’ has fans listening that’s for sure.

The Disclosure-produced cut – which serves as the first single from the 21-year-old’s first Billboard 200 chart-topper, ‘Free Spirit’ – has soared to the #3 position on this week’s refreshed Hot 100.  The move not only grants the singer-songwriter his first top 5 placement on the tally as a leading act, but also comes as his highest charting solo single to date.

Fans familiar with his work know this isn’t his first run in the top 5 overall as he reached #3 as a feature alongside Alessia Cara on rapper Logic‘s ‘1-800-273-8255’ in September 2017.

The third time’s the charm for R&B hitmaker Khalid.

After impacting the Billboard 200’s top 10 with his first two releases, 2017’s ‘American Teen’ LP and 2018’s ‘SunCity’ EP respectively, the 21-year-old is now laying claim to his first run atop the tally with, ‘Free Spirit.’

‘Spirit’ – the singer’s sophomore LP lead by Hot 100 top 40 hits ‘Better,’ ‘Talk,’ and more – was originally forecast to shift 145,000-165,000 units (SPS) its first full week of availability (as we reported here).  Now with its inaugural tracking week behind him, the crooner is not only able to report his best first week sales to date, but also the highest first week sales of the year (among males).

Curious to see how close his final number landed in relation to the prediction? Look inside to see:
