Wondering who was behind the Space Ranger mask on The Masked Singer Season 13? The latest elimination on “Ghostbusters Night” left fans buzzing, especially after the celebrity’s high-energy performances and unmistakable stage presence.
Here’s what we know about the unmasking, key clues, and the star’s reaction to their reveal.
Who is Space Ranger on The Masked Singer Season 13?
The Masked Singer Season 13 unmasked Flavor Flav as Space Ranger during “Ghostbusters Night” on March 12, 2025. The hip-hop legend exited the competition after performing Cleanin’ Up the Town by The Busboys.
Before the reveal, Space Ranger gave clues about his identity, mentioning his early days doing odd jobs and his breakthrough with a “beastly band of boys” who helped launch his career. The costume featured a hidden clock, referencing the iconic clock necklaces that Flav famously wears.
Host Nick Cannon immediately recognized Space Ranger as one of his “favorite people ever.” Panelists Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg, and Rita Ora correctly guessed Flavor Flav, while Ken Jeong humorously suggested DJ Jazzy Jeff. A clue case containing sunglasses hinted at the reveal, with Space Ranger stating, “When you shine as bright as I have, sometimes you just gotta go incognito” (via Variety).
Flav’s first performance on the show was Bad Blood by Taylor Swift, followed by his final song, Cleanin’ Up the Town. “I have one of the most distinctive voices in the history of rap music,” Flav said. “My voice is distinctive, like James Earl Jones or Samuel Jackson.” He expressed disappointment about being eliminated early, saying, “I wanted to stick around longer and do a couple more songs.”
Season 13 of The Masked Singer introduced themes like “Ghostbusters Night,” “Shrek Night,” and a tribute to the Grand Ole Opry. Other unmasked celebrities so far include Scheana Shay as Bat, Aubrey O’Day as Ant, Oscar de la Hoya as Fuzzy Peas, and Cedric the Entertainer as Honey Pot.
