Lil Wayne Gave A Literally Robotic Performance On The Masked Singer

Over the years, Lil Wayne has called himself just about everything other than human. He's been a martian, a monster, a paper chaser, and the list goes on. He can right now add being a robot to this list.


On the new season premiere for The Masked Singer soon following the Super Bowl on Sunday night (February 2), he pulled out the helps prevent as an adorable dancing cyborg who was honestly not that hard to calculate, just from his voice alone. However he gave one hell of an efficiency of Lenny Kravitz's "Are You Gonna Go My Way."


Chalk it up to over two decades of putting out some of the ideal rap music in the game — Lil Wayne's voice is instantly identifiable. No one sounds like him, and it's hard to describe why. Just close your eyes and listen to Lil Wayne's Kravitz cover and you'll hear it instantly. Once you open them, you'll visualize the life-sized automaton dancing on stage while guitarists flank him on both sides.


It was an epic moment for each person on stage, even more so for the judges who tried their best to guess who was under the costume while he was sadly eliminated. Floyd Mayweather Jr., Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O, Shaun White, and Flavor Flav were every one of the judges' picks.


Everything changed once the helmet came off. Lil Wayne's blond dreads came flinging out, followed by his million-dollar smile, and the judges' jaws dropped. Immediately after host Nick Cannon instructed him how much cooler he made the contest, Lil Wayne revealed that he chose the costume because his kids love to watch the show. He's probably going to be an early preference for Dad of the Year.


Lil Wayne just released a new album, Funeral. It features appearances from Big Sean, Lil Baby, XXXTentacion, and more.
