This Memorial Day, Disney will wreck my childhood once again release their live-action remake of Aladdin. Starring Will Smith, Mena Massoud, Naomi Scott, Marwan Kenzari, Navid Negahban, Nasim Pedrad, and Billy Magnussen, Smith — who plays the Genie made famous by the late Robin Williams — also decided to remake a beloved track from the film.
Along with DJ Khaled (because of course) riding shotgun, Smith reimagines “Friend Like Me” for the ’19 and ’20.
