South African musician The Kiffness released an upbeat and catchy song that has taken the internet by storm, all while championing a noble cause.
David Scott, famously known as The Kiffness, has transformed political absurdity into viral success with his latest video, “Eating the Cats,” which racked up over 50 million views within just 24 hours. Remarkably, all proceeds from this unexpected sensation will be donated to the Springfield SPCA, demonstrating that even midst the chaos of internet humour, positive outcomes can emerge.
The Kiffness has established a strong reputation for remixing viral video clips into songs that frequently eclipse the popularity of their originals. His distinctive approach, which fuses humor with exceptional musical talent, has propelled him to global fame. Over the years, David has cultivated a dedicated fan-base for his cat-themed music videos, resonating deeply with animal lovers around the world. Thus, it came as no surprise when former US President Donald Trump claimed during a recent presidential debate that “immigrants” were eating cats, dogs, and pets in Springfield, Ohio; David instantly saw the perfect opportunity to respond.
Without missing a beat, he seized on the bizarre and unfounded statement, transforming it into a hilarious, catchy tune that quickly captivated the internet. Within a mere day, the song garnered over 50 million views, igniting widespread conversations, laughter, and creating a viral sensation unlike anything seen before.
The Kiffness told Good Things Guy that the song had already raised a whopping $7,000 (over R123,000) in royalties, (and counting) all of which he is donating to the Springfield SPCA.
“Whether you support Trump, Harris or neither… if you watched or streamed my song “Eating the Cats”, the revenue from that is going to help stray animals in Springfield Ohio & that’s a beautiful thing.” – David Scott, The Kiffness.
Despite being widely discredited, the true beauty of this narrative lies in how, midst the chaos of political theatrics, The Kiffness is harnessing his platform for positive change. This serves as a remarkable illustration of how humor and creativity can unite to create a meaningful impact.
