2 min readSource

Oscar nominee Taraji P. Henson was revealed as Scarab on The Masked Singer Season 14. Read about the shock unmasking and her upcoming Broadway return.

A Hollywood powerhouse just stepped out from behind the mask. Oscar nominee Taraji P. Henson shocked the world as she was revealed to be the star inside the Scarab costume on the latest episode of The Masked Singer.

The January 21, 2026, broadcast of Season 14, Episode 3, titled "Clueless Night," proved to be a double-edged sword for the contestants. While a new wildcard, Crane, entered the fray, two legends were sent packing in a surprise double elimination that left the panel and fans gasping.

The Masked Singer Taraji P. Henson Reveal: Why Scarab Left

According to Entertainment Weekly, Henson decided to join the show after years of hearing fans guess her name. Despite her immense fame, she didn't shy away from the challenge. "I don't care what the industry says is hot or not," she stated, emphasizing that her loyalty lies with her fanbase.

Before the Scarab reveal, the show unmasked Handyman, who turned out to be the legendary rapper Tone Lōc. His presence gave Robin Thicke his first correct guess of the season. However, it was Rita Ora who continued her winning streak by correctly identifying Henson, noting their past collaboration on 'That's My Jam' as the deciding clue.

Broadway and Beyond for the Scarab Star

The unmasking wasn't without its physical tolls. Henson revealed that singing under the mask was stressful, citing the restrictive "head socks" used to hide skin color as a major hurdle. Despite the nerves, she's already looking forward. She’ll be starring in the Broadway production of 'Joe Turner’s Come and Gone' this April, directed by Debbie Allen.
