Lil Wayne decided to dress up as a robot on “The Masked Singer” to impress his children, believing they would love the costume. Despite delivering a captivating performance of “Are You Gonna Go My Way” by Lenny Kravitz, Weezy was ultimately eliminated from the show. Judges Robin Thicke, Jamie Foxx, and Nicole Scherzinger were surprised by his reveal, as they had guessed that the robot could be Flavor Flav, Shaun White, or Johnny Knoxville instead.
The panel was completely shocked by the revelation, and Thicke’s response was just as surprised when he mentioned, “I’ve actually worked on five songs with him.” I have never witnessed such a surprising moment on a show before.
During a recent episode of the show, the big reveal of the robot’s disguise led to the discovery of Weezy underneath. As Weezy spoke to host Nick Canal, he opened up about why he wore the robotic costume – for his children. He expressed his desire to share the experience of the show with his kids, and even bragged about outselling the legendary Elvis in album sales. The judges’ surprising lack of confidence in the audience created a memorable moment in the show’s history.
