Stud Muffin had an electrifying debut on The Masked Singer. In the Season 13 Group C premiere, the artist performed “Jump Around” by House of Pain and completely wowed the judges.
Iti’s safe to say that the judges did pretty well on the guesses here. Nick Cannon already had a pretty clear guess from what he said after his performance. Anyone knows that smooth voice anywhere. While Rita Ora and Jenny McCarthy guessed basketball legends Michael Jordan and Shaquille O’Neal, Ken Jeong and Robin Thicke went full throttle with a hip hop legend. So were they right?
