ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Were you familiar withThe Masked Singerbefore doing the show?
Ever since I sawT-PainandGladys Knight, and a couple of other people.
My family, grandkids, they all wanted me to do it anyways.
They don’t know I did it, but they all were hoping I did it.
So tonight is going to be fun for them.
It really is, it really is.
Oh, yeah, definitely.
I’ve heard other people do that.
Oh, another one I wanted to mention wasDionne Warwick.
I saw her doing it and I thought, wow.
I’ve dreamed of doing [the show] and it was definitely worth it.
You sang “It’s Your Thing” by The Isley Brothers.
Tell me about that.
Was it your top choice or what other songs did you want to perform?
Well, there was a couple of more that I really wanted to do.
But that was a good one.
There were a couple that I can’t name, but it was a lot of good choices.
What was your favorite part of being on the show?
Oh, actually, when I got unmasked, and I was able to jam with everybody.
And two people even guessed you!
I gotta figure that they were gonna get me.
I would have been able to get me just from the clues.
Yeah, and they are pretty good when they give them the clues.
They follow that pretty good.
They got a good system, and I knew I was busted right from the beginning.
What’d you think of that Gopher costume?
I knew that was the one I wanted.
It was a cool, colorful character that looks like it would have been in P-Funk anyway.
Would you be down to participate in a sequel?
I’d be down for it.
I haven’t heard anything about them doing it.
I didn’t even know if it was the same characters or not.
I didn’t know that.
But oh, yeah, definitely.
I can hobble through, I can play [Dancing] Crazy.
Are there any other films or television series you’d like to be a part of?
I just want to be on the scene, period.
I’m having fun just being relevant in this period of time, for whatever they do.
Right now, I’ll be on TikTok, my favorite spot right now.
I love what kids are doing.
They always take it to the absurd.
And there’s lots of room for that now.
Yes, andThe Masked Singeris perfect for that, too.
Perfect place right now.
Can’t wait to see myself.
What’s next for you?
Well I’m actually painting now.
I’m in LA now.
Just opened up my paint show at the Jeffrey Deitch.
I’m doing this brand new thing that’s gone very well, the art thing.
So look out for that.
