‘Masked Singer’ Season 12 Clues: Who Is Chess Piece? What We Know So Far About the Contestant

Chess Piece is a huge mystery on The Masked Singer , as fans are dying to know who is under the mask. One thing that is for certain is that the costume is fit for royalty!

Clues for Chess Piece on ‘The Mased Singer’

Chess Piece had a lot of clues relating to fashion and red carpets. One clue even looked like a reference to the MET Gala. They said that there were times in their life where they felt like a pawn with no protection.

Chess Piece said that people doubted them their whole life. They had to believe in themself and make bold moves to secure their crown and the “leading role” that changed their game.

There was an extra clue in honor of Sports Night on The Masked Singer and it was a pair of tennis shoes. “In the first round of the match it’s love serving love,” they said about the clue.

Chess Piece performed “Believe” by Cher in their first performance. Honestly, it was not clear if it was a man or a woman under the mask because of the high-pitched tone of voice. So, we’re not ruling anyone out at this point. We definitely need to hear more from Chess Piece.

Who Is the ‘Masked Singer’ Ambassador for Chess Piece

Nikki Glaser was the Masked Singer Ambassador for Chess Piece. Nikki competed on the show as Snowstorm in season 8.

There's a huge chance that Chess Piece is a comedian or a person who has worked with Nikki before on one of her projects.

Judges’ Guesses for Chess Piece on ‘The Masked Singer’

Jenny McCarthy guessed that it was Serena Williams because of the dance moves and the tennis shoes. Ken Jeong threw out the same guess that he always throws out when he has no idea who is underneath the mask — Regina King . Rita Ora guessed that it could be Ashley Graham . We think the judges were all pretty far off with their guesses.

Over on X, there were a bunch of good guesses from viewers.

"Gotta be Adam Lambert. He sang it this way at Cher’s Kennedy Award show #TheMaskedSinger," one person said. Another person said, "OK, I think #ChessPieceMask is RuPaul...#TheMaskedSinger." RuPaul was definitely one of the most popular fan guesses. However, we do not think this is RuPaul just based on the singing voice and the height.

Another person said, "Think it could be serena williams #TheMaskedSinger." While a different person wondered, "Is Chess Piece Billy Porter? #TheMaskedSinger." Billy is an incredible singer, so it's probably not likely that Chess Piece is Billy since the performance was a been shaky with the vocals.
