“The Masked Singer” was everywhere during the Super Bowl on Sunday night. Plenty of commercials, hype videos, promotions and mentions of the show. After the game, the third season of the Fox reality hit kicked off with a major celebrity reveal.
What happened: In the show’s third season premiere, the contestant named the Robot was revealed to be Lil Wayne.
- Earlier in the night, the Robot performed “Are you Gonna Go My Way” by Lenny Kravtiz.
- Judges thought the singer was either Shaun White, Floyd Mayweather or even Steve-O, for some reason.
- Pitchfork said: “Once unmasked, Wayne explained that he picked the Robot costume because he thought his kids would like that character the best. Watch his performance below.”
Context: Lil Wayne released his latest album, called “Funeral,” on Friday.
- Lil Wayne released an album in 2018 called “Tha Carter V.”
