Stud Muffin Revealed That He Has A Strong Crew
During The Masked Singer season 13 Carnival Night, when Stud Muffin first came out on stage, Ken pointed out that he was tall, Rita said that he was huge, and Jenny declared that he screamed basketball player to her. She then said that he had moves as he danced. Stud Muffin brought the house down with an incredible version of “Jump Around” by House of Pain. A W on the belt of his costume referred to Method Man’s group, the Wu-Tang Clan, and their 2000 album The W.
Stud Muffin began his clue package by meeting his mask. He said, “Becoming Stud Muffin makes sense because I’ve had a muffin top the majority of my life. Yeah. And I’ve always said if I could have any dream job, I would be a mascot. You get people pumped up and nobody knows who you are. So that’s why I’m here as Stud Muffin to rep my team.” Method Man’s “team” is Wu-Tang Clan.
Stud Muffin was then seen outside in a city playground with graffiti on the wall that included his name, a heart, a boombox, a bright green spider, a blueberry muffin, and a bright red eye. As he pointed to his bicep muscle and lifted a dumbbell, he said, “I learned from day one having a strong crew was the only way to score.” A blue and white sneaker with a basketball on it was then shown. The spider referred to his spider tattoo, while the sneaker referenced his sneakers, which are available in his clothing and accessories line that he created, Tical Athletics. He’s also known for working out.
Stud Muffin was then shown sweeping the ground. He said, “But before we were sweeping up the competition, I was sweeping up the floors. Literally.” Stud Muffin then held up a jar of jam. As he pretended to box, Stud Muffin said, “Until I found my right hook with my shot at the big top. Me and my crew went from the muffin bottom to the muffin tops.” He was then shown counting money. The jam referred to Method Man signing with Def Jam Recordings, in addition to his song “Hit ’em High (The Monstas’ Anthem)” being featured in Space Jam. Method Man recorded the song with B-Real, Coolio, LL Cool J, and Busta Rhymes.
Stud Muffin concluded his clue package by saying, “But we’re still those hungry players we were from the jump. Now, this Stud Muffin is here to hype y’all up. ‘Cause I came to win. Battle me? That’s a sin.”

After Stud Muffin’s performance, another clue was given about his identity. Nick talked to him about his dream of being a mascot and asked him if his Masked Singer costume was what he was thinking. Stud Muffin replied, “Well, Nick, one of my teammates used to run with a mascot, and I thought it was so cool. But, no. Love the idea. But, Nick, love doesn’t cost a thing.”
Nick then declared that he definitely knew who Stud Muffin was, but he didn’t think that the panelists had a clue. Method Man’s fellow Wu-Tang Clan member, Ghostface Killah, collaborated with Jennifer Lopez on her remix of her 2001 hit single, “Love Don’t Cost a Thing.” In addition, Method Man has a song called “Love Don’t Cost (A Thing)” with Icewater.

During The Masked Singer season 13 Boy Band Night, Stud Muffin sang a crowd-pleasing version of “Poison” by Bell Biv Devoe, during which he showcased his incredible dance moves. He began his clue package in a bakery, saying, “Listen up! I’m gonna bake up a little history lesson on boy bands for ya. Pay attention, Jenny.” Stud Muffin then explained, “Before NKOTB, BSB, and *NSYNC, it started with crooners like The Temptations, The Four Tops, who inspired groups like Boyz II Men, New Edition, Bell Biv Devoe.”
Stud Muffin then carried a box with a gold chain protected by a steel chain link, which he shined. He said, “Now I may not be in a boy band, but I know what it means to be part of a brotherhood.” A picture of a group of five different colored Stud Muffins was then shown, including the Masked Singer season 13 Group C contestant. This was another reference to the Wu-Tang Clan. Stud Muffin continued, “We grew up together, blew up together. There was no limit to what we could do. But when you got a good thing going, people try to poison it.” There was then a small explosion in the kitchen and neon muffin with crossbones appeared.
Stud Muffin then picked up a pink wrapped present. This was a reference to him being a rapper. As he baked, he went on to say, “But, at the end of the day, nothing can come between me and my team.” Stud Muffin then made a toy jet fly by. He concluded his clue package by saying, “Now tonight I’m singing a song from one of my favorite groups. They once sent me a birthday message, so this is my gift to them.” Stud Muffin then presented a tray of blueberry muffins.

After Stud Muffin’s performance, another clue was given about his identity. The Masked Singer season 5’s Omarion, who was Yeti, shot a t-shirt out of a cannon that said, “Ingredients: Dash of sugar, Sprinkle of liquor, A Grammy of gold.” Stud Muffin explained, “All the ingredients were there, Nick. I’m extra proud of this one.” Omarion thought that maybe Stud Muffin could be Method Man. In 1996, Method Man won a Grammy with Mary J, Blige for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group for “I’ll Be There For You/You’re All I Need to Get By.”
Lucky Duck then returned to give another clue about Stud Muffin. He said, “Now that’s one complex carb. So, here’s an exclusive clue.” It was The Masked Singer season 2 winner, Wayne Brady, who was Fox. The screen said, “Stud Muffin’s #1 Fan.” He called Stud Muffin his “travel buddy,” and revealed, “He has shared the screen with Ken.” Method Man and Ken both starred in the 2024 film, The 4:30 Movie.
After the audience voted, Stud Muffin was revealed to be the contestant who’d be unmasked, while Yorkie, Mad Scientist Monster, and Nessy advanced to the Group C finals. But first, his Crack the Case Clue Case revealed one final clue about him. It was a sign that said, “Stud Muffin District.”
Stud Muffin explained, “Well, they named a whole street after us. Me and my crew. Whoever drives down that street? It’s proof that I existed.” The Wu-Tang clan has a street corner named after them in their hometown of Staten Island, New York, called “Wu-Tang Clan District” on the corner of Vanderbuilt Avenue and Targee Street.
As The Masked Singer season 13’s Stud Muffin, Method Man certainly sweetened the competition. He’s a very talented performer who was a real treat to watch. Method Man as Stud Muffin will always be remembered as an extraordinary Masked Singer contestant.
