Jennifer Hudson’s Son David Dances Just Like Michael Jackson, and Here’s Proof

Look at him go! We’re already aware that Jennifer Hudson’s son, David Otunga Jr., is a force to be reckoned with. The American Idol alum, 35, often features the 7-year-old on her Instagram account, where he shows off his impressive got-it-from-his-mama vocals. But on Thursday, December 22, the musician gave her nearly 1.8 million Instagram followers a sneak peek of the talented child’s dance moves.

Unsurprisingly, Hudson’s fans and followers loved David Jr.’s mini performance. “Girl, I’m over here dying! Munch is giving to the people!” user @islandbabyalmondeyez wrote. Another gave a bold (and accurate) prediction: “He can move like that already he going be a dancing boy 👌🏽absolutely beautiful!” @msbr3br3 noted.

Hudson, who shares David Jr. with fiancé David Otunga, is already prepping her little one for greatness. The Hairspray Live! actress just shared a clip of David Jr. and the one and only Stevie Wonder facing off in an impromptu singing battle at the December 4 premiere of Sing.

“I mean who gets moments like this !” she captioned. “Munch u better sing with a legend of all legends !!! Come on !!!! Proud mommy !!!!!!”
