Writing on social media, The Masked Singer fans ran through the list of clues suggesting why Queen Latifah, 53, could be the woman behind the mask.
One suggested that the Bumblebee nightlight clues could refer to her movie: The Secret Life Of Bee.
Another thought the oranges refer to her place of birth in East Orange, New Jersey, US.
Some thought the Oscar statue could be a nod to her 2001 win for Chicago.
Another said that the salt and pepper on the table links to the 2021 film she’s produced about the 80s R&B group, Salt N-Pepa.
And one fan even noted that the Air Fryer costume is a key clue.
They posted: “A very popular Air Fryer recipe book is writen by a women named Dana Owens and Queen Latifah’s real name is Dana Owens.”
The clue “Tested” was a possible hint to her promotion of testing and treating Covid.
The “Missed Call” clue pointed to her character in The Equalizer -Robyn McCall – fans claimed.
And “Pitch Perfect” could be a reference to her appearance in the film Fever Pitch.
ARE U RU PAUL?
It was also pointed out that the mirror and hairdressing tools were clues to the fact she’s played a lot of hairdressers in films, including in the hit movie Hairspray.
Finally the clue, “Are U Ru Paul” could refer to his appearance on her talk show. But also his fame as a drag, QUEEN.
Queen Latifah made her name in the music industry as a rap artist in the early 90s , becoming known as the most recognizable female rapper.
She later turned to film and television, starring in US sitcoms such as the Fresh Prince of Bel Air and a cameo in the 1991 film, Jungle Fever.
She became a household name in the UK after her breakout role in the 2001 musical film, Chicago, opposite Renee Zellweger and Catherine Zeta Jones, for which she received an Oscar nomination the following year.
Latifah went on to star in a slew of blockbuster films, including, Fever Pitch, Bringin Down the House, opposite Steve Martin, and Hairspray.
Most recently she starred in the CBS series The Equalizer.
And with a rumoured fortune of £70million, if Air Fryer does turn out to be Queen Latifah, she’s certainly not doing it for the money.
