LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Fans of 'The Masked Singer' Season 11 wasted no time in mocking host Nick Cannon and the production team after he made a shirtless appearance on stage in a recent episode.

Numerous fans humorously suggested that the show might be facing budget constraints, given their inability to provide Cannon with a shirt. Others speculated that Cannon's stunt was simply a ploy to grab attention and generate buzz for the show.

The sight of Cannon shirtless on stage ignited a flurry of memes and comments on social media. Many fans felt he was inappropriately underdressed for Wednesday's bathing theme, as he opted to go completely shirtless under his suit jacket.

While some found it amusing and fitting for the theme, others were left scratching their heads at the unexpected wardrobe choice. 

"Why tf does a tv show host need to be shirtless. Nick likes attention way too much," said a fan. "I just dont like the no-shirt look Sorry, Nick," wrote another. "nick cannon, really? The blazer needs a shirt underneath it," added another fan. 





 

Some took a jibe at the producers too, "The producers need to tell Nick Cannon to either button his jacket or wear a damn shirt. At the very least a 6 pack," said one fan. "Did the show run out of budget for a shirt for Nick after making all the cool costumes?" added another fan.
