The Masked Singer Season 3 premieres on Fox on Sunday night after the Super Bowl LIV, and it already revealed the identity of one of the contestants. Viewers and judges were shocked as they didn't expect rapper Lil Wayne would be the one behind The Robot costume.
Judges Jenny McCarthy, Ken Jeong, Nicole Scherzinger, Robin Thicke, and guest panelist Jamie Foxx guessed that the person wearing The Robot costume and singing Lenny Kravitz's hit, "Are You Gonna Go My Way," would be Floyd Mayweather, Flavor Flav, Shaun White, or Steve-O.
But then, everyone was shocked when it was revealed Lil Wayne was The Robot. This came as a surprise in The Masked Singer season 3, considering the rapper is musically talented. Yet, this big reveal is also enough to hype up the competition.
Lil Wayne is one of the most famous celebrities who appeared on the show. He said that he simply did it because his kids spend a lot of time watching the program. Thicke also told that crowd it was the most shocked he'd ever been on the show.
A total of six stars performed during the premiered of The Masked Singer season 3. Aside from Lil Wayne's The Robot, other costumes include Miss Monster, The Kangaroo, The White Tiger, The Llama, and The Turtle. Their identities will be revealed once eliminated in the competition.
Speculations about these five celebrities emerged as well. Miss Monster caught the attention of many, thanks to her performance of Bonnie Raitt's "Something to Talk About." Scherzinger picked up some Patti LaBelle vibes, while Jeong thinks it was Dolly Parton.
Fans guessed The Kangaroo might be Jordyn Woods, as her story and the character's story seemed to match up. However, Thicke speculated it could be Australian rapper Iggy Azalea. But then, McCarthy doesn't think The Kangaroo is from Australia. The hidden star performed Robyn's "Dancing on My Own."
Meanwhile, The White Tiger looks athletic and gigantic, so many speculated it would be New England Patriots tight end Rob "Gronk" Gronkowski. He's also got a history of partying and someone with an athletic past. Many were convinced it was Gronkowski, especially with the "let's party" clue.
The Llama performed Ricky Martin's "She Bangs," and there's quite a debate as to who's the hidden singer. Some speculated it might be Jack Black, Howard Stern, or Danny Bonaduce. But although Scherzinger didn't say Black's name, she questioned the "black jack" joker card shown in his clue video.
And as for The Turtle, fans have different opinions about it, with some speculating it might be Jesse McCartney, Jordan Knight, Nick Carter, or Zac Efron. There's a theory it's McCartney as the clue video suggests he loves to grill and he's holding a surfboard.
The Masked Singer Season 3 airs every Sunday on Fox.
