ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: I am so mad that I am talking to you right now.
I thought you were going to take it all!
OMARION:[Laughs] Yeah, I know.

The Yeti’s sitting here.
He’s shaking his head.
He’s like, “What?
Who’s going to beat the Yeti?”
I couldn’t believe it.
That’s how the judges looked, too, but you didn’t hear that from me.
[Laughs]
So were you sad to go home?
And for a very long time as an entertainer, I completely forgot what that was like.
I felt like that was what I needed to get [from this experience].
It’s better to be felt.
So I’m so happy that I was able to even come in hot as the wildcard.
It was a great experience.
I’m happy that I enjoyed myself, and nah, I’m not even tripping.
The Yeti is a winner.
He’s stepped out from the Himalayan Mountains further than any Yeti!
If you ask me, he needs to be making a guest star appearance in the nextStar Wars.
But you know, we’ll see.
That costume is so cute it really does need some merch of its own.
That’s what I’m saying.
He rollerblades and sings at the fire.
I mean, I’ve never seen a Yeti like this Yeti.
[Laughs]
Speaking of the rollerblading, how did that come about?
No one has ever done that on the show before.
Well, they always ask you on the show, what are some of your hidden talents?
We would basically teach the kids there how to rollerblade.
So I was like a professional rollerblader early on in my traveling career.
A Yeti has never rollerbladed before."
All the other things I thought of I wouldn’t be able to do in this 60-pound outfit.
So, the skating was pretty cool.
I’m happy that I was able to do that.
Your performances were all so different.
Was there one that you were particularly proud of?
I know so many people feel lonely and don’t know how to express it.
And it’s a current song as well.
You know, Justin [Bieber], put the song out not too long ago.
So I felt like, oh, this is dope.
This is a current song.
So that was my favorite to perform.
You’ve worked a lot with anotherMasked Singeralum, the Frog a.k.a.
And he was like, “I know this is you, O. I know this is you.”
[Laughs] Just like I knew it was him when I saw the Frog.
We’ve shared the stage, we’ve done albums together.
So he definitely knows my energy signature.
And I thought it was cool, too.
In hindsight, I’m like, wow, that’s pretty dope.
It premieres on CNN this month on the 31st.
And it’s the same thing that we are experiencing now.
The official music video will be airing on the centennial anniversary of the Black Wall Street massacre.
And I’m excited after being the Yeti to be doing a lot of music projects and some acting.
I actually wrote a book that’s going to be coming out with Harper in 2022.
It’s titledFull Circle: Lessons and Takeaways on How to Live an Unbothered Life.
I’m going to be dropping an album this year titledFull Circleas well.
We’re going to be going on the Millennium Tour, a lot of great things.
On the show, Robin guessed you right off the bat with his first impression guess.
Were you surprised by who did and didn’t guess you?
I was surprised that on the first show [Robin guessed me].
I was like wait a minute, Robin.
Make it a little bit more exciting.
But I thought it was really cool.
So it was all in all such a great experience.
What did you enjoy most about this experience?
I think what I enjoyed the most was the not knowing.
It was a little bit nerve-wracking.
So I love that.
I love that challenge.
It was kind of like karaoke on steroids.
Well, thank you for bringing the Yeti to life for us onThe Masked Singer.
And thank you so much.
It’s all good.
Maybe you’ll see the Yeti pop up in futureStar Warsor one of these cartoons.
I don’t know, we’ve got to talk to Fox.
We need some Yeti memorabilia.
