The short clip features the audience and judges chanting that the disguised singer removes the mask and voila, it appears to be the daughter of the greatest boxer of all time, Muhammad Ali. The video was captioned,

"That was AMAZING! Are you just as shocked as the panel, or did you totally call # PandaMask's identity? #TheMaskedSinger."
