THE Masked Singer sent home Tyrese Gibson in a shocking elimination as contestant, Robo-Pine, is revealed to be the actor.
Fans said the moment was “the BEST unmasking” of the entire season.
Host Nick Cannon admitted he was “not happy” his “favorite” performer was voted off the Fox singing series after he sang with the “Spicy 6” for Wednesday’s Cinco De Mayo special.
As his final performance, the Fast And The Furious star sang an emotional ballad, Water Runs Dry by Boyz II Men.
The superstar panelists praised his “impressive” vocals and were visibly moved by his rendition.
Despite seeming to win over the room, Robo-Pine was announced as the latest casualty of the competition.
Following his unmasking, a number of viewers took to Twitter to share their reactions to Tyrese being the voice behind the mask.
One The Masked Singer fan wrote: “I think seeing Tyrese as #RobopineMask is the best unmasking of the season tbh.”
Others slammed the show for eliminating the actor, as one person said: “#TheMaskedSinger really? Tyrese shouldnt have been eliminated. If queen JoJo (dark swan) is eliminated next week I will be so mad.”
Another person added: “I hate that we sent Tyrese home. I could listen to him sing forever.”
A following viewer added: “Tyrese should have not gone home.”
Many people thought Tyrese should have won the whole show, as another viewer commented: “I am in my feelings! I’m mad.. He could have went all the way with that voice!”
An additional upset fan wrote: “Who is doing the voting??!!! How you all gone vote off Tyrese?”
Shortly after his identity was revealed, Tyrese shared that he decided to compete on the show for his two daughters.
He told the panel of judges: “You look for those moments to sit in front of the TV and do something fun as a family, so here I am now with a Robo-Pine outfit on.”
Each of the judges shared their guesses on who the contestant was before he was unmasked.
Jenny McCarthy is adamant the robotic porcupine is Jamie Foxx while Ken Jeong says it’s Wesley Snipes.
Meanwhile, Robin Thicke was sure the contestant is actor Terrence Howard.
The only person who accurately guessed Tyrese, 42, was Nicole Scherzinger and guest judge, This Is Us actress Chrissy Metz.
As he took his mask off, the Pussycat Doll blushed and exclaimed with wide eyes: “Don’t you want to just lick his face?”
Nick joined Tyrese on stage and was visibly disappointed by tonight’s results.
“This was my favorite for sure so I am no happy at all to see you go. But you just made The Masked Singer a whole lot cooler,” he said.
When asked why he wants to go on the show, Tyrese says: “When you have two young daughters, you look for those moments to sit in front of the TV to do something fun as a family.
“So here I am now with a Robo-Pine outfit on. I just want to say thank y’all for the love.”
The singer, actor and model has two girls – daughters Shayla, 13, and two-year-old Soraya.
