      Let \(C\) be the Cayley singular cubic surface in the complex projective 3-space \(\mathbb{P}^3\), having as singular set \(\mathrm{Sing}(C)\) four \(A_1\)-singularities. In this paper it is shown, using the braid monodromy technique, that the fundamental group of the smooth part \(C \setminus \mathrm{Sing}(C)\) is cyclic of order two.
