The Masked Singer Unmasks Flavor Flav as Space Ranger

LOS ANGELES, CA — Flavor Flav, the iconic rapper known for his eccentric style and infectious energy, was unmasked as Space Ranger during the latest episode of Fox‘s hit show “The Masked Singer” on March 12, 2025.

The episode, themed around the beloved “Ghostbusters” franchise, showcased Flavor Flav’s impressive vocal talents and charismatic presence. Despite his elimination after performing “Cleanin’ Up the Town” by The Busboys, Flav expressed enthusiasm for his time on the show. “Participating in ‘The Masked Singer’ was a bucket list item for me,” he said. “I love surprising people and fooling people; I love being the center of attention.”

The episode also featured performances from other contestants in Group B, including Griffin, Pearl, and Boogie Woogie, as they vied for a spot in the finals. Flav’s unmasking was made particularly memorable by his return to the stage, where he donned an elaborate costume complete with a clock—a nod to his signature piece of jewelry.

During the clue package leading up to his reveal, Flav hinted at his time as a member of the groundbreaking hip-hop group Public Enemy and the unique identity that made him easily recognizable to viewers. “A caveman could figure it out!” he jokingly remarked regarding his identity clues.

Throughout the episode, panelists shared their predictions about the identity of the Space Ranger. Judges Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg, and Rita Ora correctly guessed Flavor Flav, while Ken Jeong humorously speculated on DJ Jazzy Jeff.

Flav took the stage once more for a show-stopping finale before revealing his identity. “When it comes to Flavor Flav, you get a high rating!” he declared, showcasing his larger-than-life personality that viewers have come to love.

In a previous performance, Flav electrified the audience with his rendition of Taylor Swift’s “Bad Blood,” further demonstrating his versatility as a performer. His passion for music shone through as he noted, “TV and music are my happy places, and I feel so lucky to share that with viewers.”

With changes set for the remainder of Season 13, host Nick Cannon and the panelists will continue to guide audiences through a plethora of disguised performances as new contestants make their debut. “The Masked Singer” airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. EST on FOX.
