The Kiffness Performs Viral ‘Eating the Cats’ Track Live in Munich
South African artist The Kiffness has taken his viral, Donald Trump-inspired track to the stage.
The Kiffness (real name David Scott) shared a video to social media on Thursday (Sept. 19) in which he’s seen performing his viral “They’re Eating the Cats” track in Munich, Germany. “‘Eating the Cats’ live in Munich last night. Only a week ago I was in my studio in South Africa writing this song,” he captioned the clip alongside a laughing emoji.
The song is a remix of a false claim Trump made during the presidential debate against Kamala Harris on September 10. “In Springfield, they’re eating the dogs—the people that came in. They’re eating the cats,” he said in reference to the Haitian migrants in the Ohio city.
“My initial desire to remix the quote was because I thought it was amusing and outlandish, but I also recognized the melodic element to the statement. I decided to give it a shot and I had the basic idea for the song in a matter of minutes,” The Kiffness told Newsweek of his inspiration to remix the line from the debate.
The now-viral YouTube video has more than five million views at the time of publication. Listen to “They’re Eating the Cats” in full below.
