It was business as usual for Ken Jeong Wednesday night on Twitter, and he didn’t let all the chatter around his controversial walk-off moment on The Masked Singer stop him from posting what he wanted.

In February, while the current season of The Masked Singer was being taped, Deadline reported that former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and the the former personal lawyer for former President Donald Trump was unmasked on the show, and Ken “quickly left the stage in protest.” Since then, viewers have been waiting to see which costume he was hiding behind. In the final minutes of the latest episode on April 20, host Nick Cannon declared that the former associate attorney general was Jack In The Box.

Though fellow Masked Singer judge Nicole Scherzinger couldn’t tell who was up on stage, Ken immediately knew who it was, and he appeared visibly upset. Nicole, Jenny McCarthy and Robin Thicke expressed their shock but Ken stayed silent.

After The Masked Singer season 7 contestant opened up about why he decided to do the show, Rudy gave one last performance of George Thorogood & the Destroyers’ “Bad To The Bone.” It was then that Ken broke his silence. “And I’m done,” he said to his costars before walking off the stage by himself. (Deadline reported that Robin also made his own exit from the stage but it wasn't shown.)

Over on Twitter, Ken didn’t address the moment directly and instead seemed to carry on with his Masked Singer-themed tweets. In his signature fashion, the comedian posted GIFs throughout the night that were related to what was happening on the show.

To kick off, he reminded fans that a new episode was on and followed it up with several GIFs of frogs to represent the Prince, including one from Disney’s The Princess and the Frog. Throughout the rest of the hour, he posted other animated pictures to symbolize the other Masked Singer contestants: Baby Mammoth, Queen Cobra and Space Bunny.

There was even one of Jack Box, the mascot of the Jack in the Box fast food restaurant, most likely signifying the Masked Singer character.

The Hangover actor ended his tweeting spree with a two-minute video of Space Bunny performing “Jump In the Line.” After seeing him get everyone moving with his fun song, Ken cheered him on. “The good news is that you absolutely won the Cuddly crown according to this audience,” Jenny said to which Ken added, “That’s the bottom line."
