LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'The Masked Singer' Season 11's premiere featured the most unbelievable unmasking in history, leaving both judges and viewers shocked and amused. While Book mask's unmasking appeared staged, fans believe it was an accidental moment.

Amid the sudden elimination and unmasking, a fan asked, "Did #BookMask eliminate himself by accident?" Another slammed the judges, "Why they acting shocked when they literally just said they all knew who it was lol." 

A fan claimed, "Without a doubt, @KevinHart4real just gave us the funniest moment in the history of #TheMaskedSinger!" Another asked, "WHAT THE HELL BOOK! Why you wanted to go by eliminated yourself?!" One wrote, "Book has unmasked himself. It's Kevin Hart. And it's a prank. He intentionally performed bad on the show." A fan tweeted "I knew it, And I was right, Kevin hart was the book."
