Badu might look like an ordinary black cat, but when his owner picks up a guitar, something amazing happens! Most people spend years learning how to sing well, but for Badu, singing the blues comes naturally. When his cat dad strums a blues tune on his guitar, Badu surprises everyone by singing along like a true pro!
During a one-minute performance, every time his owner takes a break between guitar riffs, Badu jumps in with a perfect meow, right in time with the music. Anyone who knows cats will understand how incredible this is. Training cats to do anything is tough, but for Badu, singing like an old blues legend is just part of his day! His amazing performance went viral on YouTube, racking up a whopping 3.6 million views.
The famous blues video was posted on Badu’s official YouTube channel, Badu the Singing Cat, on December 2, 2020. Fans couldn’t believe their ears and left tons of excited comments. One person wrote, “What a purrfessional. He didn’t miss a cue, even during a yawn!” Another fan said, “I love how relaxed Badu sounds. It takes human singers years to perfect that effortless style. Bravo!”
Even though Badu is now an internet star, he’s still a bit of a mystery. There are only two videos on his YouTube channel. The other video, uploaded a month before the blues jam, shows Badu showing off his folk-singing skills. And let’s not forget his talented owner, who can play some seriously good guitar!
We don’t know much about Badu’s owner because he chooses to stay anonymous online. Maybe he just wants the attention to be all on Badu—and honestly, who wouldn’t?
Luckily for Badu’s fans, his owner has shared more performances on Instagram. These videos prove that Badu is always on point, never missing a beat when his dad plays the guitar.
In his latest Instagram post on July 23, 2023, Badu’s owner revealed something interesting—Badu was named after the famous R&B singer Erykah Badu. Maybe that musical connection helped him become such an amazing performer! Or maybe, like all great blues singers, Badu was just born with the talent.
