He has been working non-stop since his Top 3 finish on The Masked Singer as The Chameleon. He impressed the judges with his performances of old-school rap songs each week.

“I got a lot of other different businesses that I’m into right now,” he said. “I got my weed business, Khalifa Kush. I got McQueen, which is my alcohol business. I just became a part owner in the MMA league called PFL. Just a ton of different things.”
