The Masked SingerWho is Sea Queen on
Published on January 16, 2026 EDT The panelists debate the contestant's identity in an exclusive clip from this week's "I Wanna Rock" episode.

Just who is Sea Queen on season 10 of The Masked Singer?

In an exclusive clip from this week's "I Wanna Rock" episode, panelists Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg, Nicole Scherzinger, and Robin Thicke debate the wild card contestant's identity.

After her rock-and-roll-inspired performance, Jeong asks host Nick Cannon, "Gosh, can I go on IMDB right now?" This prompts Cannon to give his customary response of, "No, Ken!" which leads to Jeong doubling down on a guess he had for Sea Queen earlier this season: Queen Latifah.

Apparently, the contestant has a connection to Jeong and Denzel Washington. "Because, for real, I was one of her first guests on The Queen Latifah Show, and she's actually worked with Denzel," he says of Washington's Bone Collector costar.

However, this prompts a different idea for Scherzinger, who thinks that maybe Sea Queen has worked with all of the panelists in some way.

"We had Niecy Nash guest host for Nick. I don't know if she's worked with Denzel Washington, but I do know of someone that has worked with Denzel Washington, and that is Macy Gray," she says of the musician's appearance in Training Day. But has Gray worked with Jeong? Jeong admits that he has in fact worked with the "I Try" singer, who appeared on his show I Can See Your Voice. Regardless, he is holding firm to his Queen Latifah guess. See the full guessing in the video above.

Other guesses for Sea Queen — who joined the competition as a wild card in week 5 — have included Erykah Badu and Jenifer Lewis. Read EW's breakdown of all season 10 clues so far to figure out for yourself which of these guesses might be correct.
