It's unclear if hosting the fourth season of the show maskless around dozens of crew, dancers, and celebrities was a good idea. But the Masked Singer judges' favorite guess for non-singing Black ladies wishes Nick well:

Sending prayers up for @NickCannon! Get well soon my friend. And I’m sure my girl @NiecyNash will hold you down on #TheMaskedSinger while you recover. 🙏🏾 https://t.co/FwrRUL9Zkq

In other Nick Cannon news, he has been declared officially uncanceled by ViacomCBS for anti-Semitic comments made 8 months ago. "Wild 'N Out" (the comedy / hip hop show, not a documentary about Dua Lipa's face around the world during qurantine) is set to return.
