Victor Oladipo may have been eliminated fromThe Masked Singer,but another one of his wishes relating to the reality singing competition series could still come true.
During Wednesday night’s episode of the Fox show,Oladipo was revealed to be the Thingamajig,which followed a season of him and judgeNicole Scherzingerflirting with one another. After being unmasked, the NBA star told host Nick Cannon he’d go on a date with Scherzinger, 41, “anywhere, any time, any place.”
“If I actually do, hopefully it’s in the near future if the moment or opportunity presents itself,” he said of taking Scherzinger on a date.
As to what their time together would like look, Oladipo said it’d be focused on the pair getting to know each other.
“If I did, I would just take her to wherever she wants to go because it would be all about her and me getting to know her, and obviously us getting to know one another,” said Oladipo.

Reflecting on his experience after taking off his mask on Wednesday, the Indiana Pacers player, 27, said “it feels great.”
“It has been a rough year for me but to be able to come out here and put smiles on people’s faces and just do something fun for once and get away from the game has been awesome. It’s nothing but a blessing for me,” he said.
