Claim to Fame fans think they spot a Masked Singer connection

Chris, Cole, Gabriel and JR talking in Claim to Fame season 2

As Claim to Fame season 2 continues to captivate viewers this summer, just like with the first season, Claim to Fame fans have paid close attention to the show clues to develop theories about some of the contestants. While the internet is quite the source in helping to prove or disprove some of their theories, there are a few occasions when a competitor's famous relative truly is a mystery. Case in point, season 2's Gabriel. 

If you've been following along with the season, then you know when Gabriel first introduced himself, he dropped the hint that his famous relative is an NAACP Image Award winner. Admittedly, that's not the most revealing clue. However, in the weeks that followed, Gabriel claimed his brother was born in San Diego and a pair of drumsticks were shown in reference to the famous relative.

Then on the episode that aired on July 17, viewers got to hear the most telling clue of all. Gabriel disclosed that his brother used to be on Nickelodeon with Keenan and Kel. Right away, fans immediately thought Gabriel is related to The Masked Singer host Nick Cannon — and for good reason. 

For starters, going back to Gabriel's original clue, Cannon has received an NAACP Image Award for his work in Up All Night and he was born in San Diego. Furthermore, Cannon's rise to superstardom began with his early days on the Nickelodeon hit show All That. By the way, the drumsticks clue could easily be a nod to Nick Cannon's most notable movie role in the classic movie Drumline

While we'll have to wait to see if this running popular theory is confirmed on Claim to Fame, fans already think they've got all the confirmation they need.

Claim to Fame season 2 continues to air on Mondays on ABC at 8 pm ET/PT. The episodes are then available to stream the day after they air on Hulu
