The Masked Singer Season 13 is amping up to be one for the books. Ant gave a spectacular performance and story, but who is it behind the mask?

Ant gave a powerful speech and performance on the premiere of The Masked Singer. For her grand opening, she sang “Just Give Me a Reason” by P!nk and her vocals wowed the judges. Along with her poignant story, Rita Ora wanted to give her her flowers. “I’m really on stage tonight for all the survivors, she said as she was tearing up. “I see you and anyone had to endure. I see you and I support you. Together, no one will stomp us out.”

The judges initially guessed Lea Michele, Lindsay Lohan, and Ashanti in the first episode, but we think it might be another pop star in the costume.

Our best guess for Ant is Aubrey O’Day. The artist is vocal about her story as a sexual assault survivor, and this ant has the same kind of fiery passion. The YouTube comments section might agree that this is

Episode 1

  • “Why am I Ant? The thing about ants is that they’re small and mighty, and did you know they can carry over 50 times their body weight? But just because you can carry a heavy burden doesn’t mean you should have to,” she says.

O’Day was one of the first to speak out against Diddy, who founded her girl group Danity Kane. He is currently arrested and charged with racketeering and sex trafficking.

  • She holds “a deep, dark secret for my entire career” and because of this, “powerful people tried to erase me, to brush me off, to stomp me out”

The events happened when she was younger and Diddy silenced her.

  • She says this broke her spirit, and broke her, but recently she made a decision to “be a warrior” instead of staying “broken”

  • “That’s the reason I’m here: To fight for my voice to be heard, and like any ant, march towards real change,” she says

She speaks for all survivors out there now that more than 200 people have come forward with allegations

  • A wooden dollhouse on a white table, a candelabra, a red X on a tree, and a purple wizard hat appear

Episode 2

  • Had a villain and was trapped in a tower due to someone’s dark motivations and she was silenced

Fits Diddy’s descriptions.

  • Hairspray

She made her Broadway debut as Amber Von Tussle, in the musical Hairspray.
