As revealed during the group's December 18, 2024, interview with Gold Derby, they tried to "sabotage" their initial participation.
Referring to that, bandmate Nathan Morris shared:
"We were trying to sabotage the whole thing from the beginning. We were either going to sing like us so they would find out or sing like s***. One of the two, so they would say, 'Get them out of here!' "
Boyz II Men fans might be aware of the group's biopic, which the news broke last month. It is in collaboration with Primary Wave and Compelling Pictures, which, as Wanya stated, "fans will be surprised by everything."
Continuing on the subject, Nathan Morris added,
"There's people in our hometown that don't even know the story. You saw all the videos. We had the collegiate sweaters and the hats. A lot of people think we come from money and we come from dirt. Just knowing that people that lived in our own vicinity never even knew tells you that the whole world has absolutely no idea."
Referring to their historical win, Wanya shared that after 33 years of being together in the band, they have made history as the first group to win The Masked Singer.
