Hotel Lobby Cat AI rap videos we made
Made with this template from 2 photos.
A white cat on the mic, a corgi on hype
The cat's photo went on the left, so it raps at the hanging mic; the corgi on the right turns to dance and ends with a paw to its forehead. Both stand on their hind legs and keep their own look: the cat's long white fur, blue eyes and big tail, the corgi's red-and-white coat and black collar.
Input: 2 pet photos · Trial run, 10 secondsMake one like this ↑The same booth works for people
Two friends, one photo each, in the full 15 seconds. Swap either photo for your cat and you get the cat-and-owner version: put the cat on the left if it should get the mic, or on the right to let it do the hype moves.

Left raps, right hypes
Whoever is in the left photo raps; whoever is in the right one dances and hypes, and both meet at the mic at the end. That holds for two cats, a cat and a dog, a cat and its owner, or a couple like Emma and Kai here.

What is a Hotel Lobby Cat AI video?
A Hotel Lobby cat AI video puts two cats, or a cat and its owner, in the orange booth of the Hotel Lobby rap performance, made from two photos with the original audio.
It works best with clear, well-lit photos with every face in view. You get a 15-second video with sound, ready in about 6 minutes.
How cats took over Hotel Lobby
In June 2022 Quavo and Takeoff, performing as Unc & Phew, played their song Hotel Lobby on A COLORS SHOW: a plain orange wall, a yellow strip of floor, one microphone hanging between them. The video has 135 million views on YouTube.
In mid-September 2026 AI remixes started swapping the two of them for anyone else. A version with two cats went up on Instagram on September 17 and passed 7 million views on X a day later; Quavo reshared the original performance on September 23.
The joke is who ends up in the booth: best friends, couples, a mom and her son, two cats. The beat and the moves stay; only the faces change.
