What happend to the Walmart yodeling kid?

Mason Ramsey a.k.a. the Walmart yodeling kid is making a viral comeback on TikTok, almost six years after he originally went viral with his singing skills.

Back in March 2018, Mason Ramsey (who was 11 years old at the time) went insanely viral after someone uploaded a video of the boy yodeling the song ‘Lovesick Blues’ in a Walmart store.

The clip quickly generated an enormous amount of attention, and he garnered tens of millions of views across social media as people praised his talent. He went on to sign a record deal and release several popular hits, proving to be one of the biggest viral successes of that year.

But what happened to him since he went viral in Walmart? Here’s everything you need to know.

Mason has been focusing on his music career, and released his first EP in 2018, which went on to be a huge success and currently has millions of streams on Spotify. He released his second EP in 2019, before taking a break until 2023, when he released two new singles before his third EP.

As of April 2024, Mason has released two more singles while also touring across the USA with his music.

But music isn’t all he’s been focusing on, as he’s also kept fans updated on his life on TIkTok, where he often goes viral.

In January 2022, Mason started duetting people who were dancing to his song ‘Before I Knew It,’ and wondering what had happened to the viral sensation.

It appears Mason is now working at Subway, and he’s even posted videos of him making sandwiches in response to comments saying that he “Went from Mason Ramsey to Gordon Ramsey.”
