Featured on SZA's Billboard 200-topping album SOS, 'Snooze' reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in October 2023, nearly a year after it was first released. Just a month before the song's peak, Justin Bieber had joined SZA on an acoustic version of the track.
Caton's followers loved what he did with the song, with one person writing in the comments of his TikTok, 'I didn't know I needed to hear sammie sing SZA until now,' referencing the name of his character in Sinners.
'sing it preacher boy!!!' another viewer wrote, while a third person commented, 'i need you to drop some music like NOW.'
Sinners premiered in theaters in April, earning critical acclaim and marking Caton's acting debut. In an interview with Variety that month, Coogler said that he knew there was something special about Caton from the moment he saw the young star's audition tape.
'He was just in the dark — like he didn't turn his lights on,' the director told the publication at the time. 'Something about that was, like, so intriguing. This kid looked like he was in his basement, like in between homework assignments. But he had this voice — a once in a lifetime voice — and he also felt like the character.'
Before making his acting debut, Caton gained traction as a musician, performing with artists such as H.E.R. In 2023, he dropped a single titled 'This Ain't It.'

Comic-Con 2025 set to kick off in a year that some major superheroes are sitting out
SAN DIEGO, Calif. (AP) — Tens of thousands of fans — many in costumes — will descend Thursday on Comic-Con International, the four day pop culture spectacle that will feature updates on the new 'Predator' movie, 'Alien' series and a special appearance by George Lucas. Just don't expect major news about the future of Marvel's movie slate or what's next for the hit relaunch of DC's high-flying 'Superman' franchise. Both studios are sitting out Comic-Con 2025, as far as their film slates go. An estimated 135,000 people will attend the convention, which will greet Lucas on Sunday for his first Comic-Con appearance. The 'Star Wars' creator will discuss his new Lucas Museum of Narrative Art that will open next year in Los Angeles. Fans of the 'Alien' and 'Predator' franchises will have plenty to cheer. Elle Fanning, star of 'Predator: Badlands,' will discuss the film at Comic-Con's massive Hall H this week. FX will also bring the stars and creators of 'Alien: Earth,' a series that will unleash the Xenomorph species on Earth next month. 'Alien: Earth' will be one of the projects that brings a massive interactive experience to San Diego, with a replica of spacecraft from the series. The attraction will feature what's described as a terrifying mission at night. Marvel may not be presenting new movies, but it will have a 'Fantastic Four: First Steps' attraction near the convention, a tie-in to Friday's release of the latest attempt to successfully launch its 'first family' in theaters. Thousands of fans got a sneak peek at the convention's 460,000 square foot (42,700 square meter) exhibitor section, which features exclusive merchandise, comic book art and exhibits from brands like Star Wars, Lego, Nickelodeon, Paramount and more.

Ozzy Osbourne ‘surrounded by love' and family when he died
Ozzy Osbourne spent his final moments with his loved ones before he died Tuesday morning. 'He was with his family and surrounded by love,' his wife, Sharon Osbourne, and his kids, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis, confirmed in a joint statement obtained by Page Six Tuesday. 'We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time,' the statement continued In the same statement, the Black Sabbath singer's family confirmed that he had died Tuesday morning. He was 76. 'It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning,' they said. Earlier this month, the 'No More Tears' artist had performed his last concert with Black Sabbath. Fans were concerned for Ozzy's health in early July when AI videos claiming that he was dying had circulated online. Kelly swiftly shut down rumors. The rock star has had health issues for years now and revealed in January 2020 that he had secretly been battling Parkinson's disease for more than 15 years. There is no known cure for the movement disorder of the nervous system, which often worsens over time, according to the Mayo Clinic. Ozzy was also living in pain after sustaining horrible neck injuries from a 2003 quad biking accident. In May 2022, the heavy metal star shared that he could no longer 'walk properly' and would be undergoing a 'life-altering' neck surgery. After the procedure, Ozzy shared that his walking had improved as he could 'hold [his] head up' and he returned to the stage for an NFL halftime show in September 2022. By the following year, Ozzy announced that he would no longer be touring amid rising health concerns. 'Never would have imagined that my touring days would have ended this way,' he shared in a statement at the time. 'I have now come to the realization that I'm not physically capable of doing my upcoming European/UK tour dates, as I know I couldn't deal with the travel required,' he added. Ozzy and his Black Sabbath bandmates performed alongside Metallica, Guns N' Roses, Jack Black and other rockers in Birmingham, England earlier this month, marking the musician's last gig before his passing. The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer married Sharon in 1982. They shared three kids: Aimee, 41, Kelly, 40, and Jack, 39. Ozzy was also married to Thelma Riley — with whom he shared kids Elliot, 59, Jessica, 53, and Louis, 50 — from 1971 to 1982. Solve the daily Crossword
