Jennifer Hudson enjoys a good laugh like the rest of us. During a stop at The Rickey Smiley Show, the Academy Award-winning singer remixed the vocals to the viral video of Donna Goudeau’s arrest. She sings the lines “Mama, I love you” and “POP, hold it down” over a hip-hop beat that will leave you in stitches.

Goudeau became an Internet meme sensation when a video surfaced of her tearful interview with a news team following her arrest for a violent robbery. Unfortunately, Goudeu is currently serving 18 years behind bars and that’s no laughing matter.
