14 Karat Carrot on The Masked Singer season 14 has not been officially unmasked yet, but the leading fan and media theory is that he is Judge Greg Mathis.

Who 14 Karat Carrot Is (Most Likely)

Many recap sites and fan sleuths think 14 Karat Carrot is Judge Greg Mathis, the longtime TV judge from Judge Mathis. This is still speculation, but the clue packages line up strongly with his life story.

Key reasons people link 14 Karat Carrot to Greg Mathis:

  • References to a troubled youth, getting locked up, then turning his life around, which mirrors Mathis’ real background.
  • Visual clues with prison imagery and “bad judgment calls,” fitting a courtroom/judge theme.
  • A gold star clue about “landing on one in Hollywood,” which matches Greg Mathis’ star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame (awarded in 2022).
  • Lines about “justice” and “the carrot and the stick,” reinforcing a judge/justice connection.
  • Soulful, classic-sounding vocal style that surprised many viewers who didn’t expect a TV judge to sing like that.

What The Show And Panel Have Guessed

On air, the panel has thrown out big music names rather than TV personalities.

Some guesses mentioned:

  • Al Green or Otis Williams (The Temptations)
  • Verdine White (Earth, Wind & Fire)
  • Lionel Richie, Jermaine Jackson, Ron Isley
  • One outlet even leaned toward Bobby Brown for a while, before noting he already appeared on the show in a past season.

These on‑show guesses haven’t stuck with most online fans, because the story and the justice‑themed clues match Greg Mathis much more closely.

Clue Breakdown (Story Style)

The clue packages tell a mini redemption story that fans have been decoding week by week.

Highlights:

  1. Wild card, plays by the rules now
    • 14 Karat Carrot says being a wild card is out of his comfort zone because he now “plays by the rules,” but he “used to be trouble.”
 * This reflects someone who went from criminal trouble to a legal career.
  1. Rock bottom and jail
    • He talks about hitting rock bottom, being locked away, and letting his family down, while the visuals show police vans, handcuffs, and jail bars.
 * Greg Mathis has spoken openly about being jailed as a teenager before reforming and going to law school.
  1. Mom Karat and family focus
    • A statue labeled “Mom Karat” in a 1950s style hints at a strong, guiding mother figure.
 * Mathis often credits his mother for pushing him to change his life.
  1. Golden life / 24K carrots
    • Five gold carrots labeled “24K” and talk of living “the golden life” point to awards, long‑running success, and possibly “24 karat” as a pun on sustained TV fame.
 * Mathis’ courtroom show ran for many seasons and earned major recognition, matching that long‑term “golden” career arc.
  1. Justice and balance
    • The line “Justice really is the balance between the carrot and the stick” leans hard into legal symbolism (justice scales, punishment vs reward).
 * That’s exactly the kind of wordplay you’d expect for a TV judge in a carrot costume.
  1. Love story clue
    • In another package, he describes meeting his wife at 18, first clashing, then winning her over by serenading her, and being together ever since.
 * Fans have matched this to Greg Mathis’ long marriage and public stories about his relationship.

What Fans Are Saying Online

On forums, YouTube breakdowns, and entertainment articles, the dominant narrative is:

“All the prison, justice, and redemption clues plus the vocal tone scream Greg Mathis.”

  • Spoiler‑style breakdowns use slowed/pitch‑corrected audio from the clue packages and compare it to Mathis’ speaking voice, arguing it’s a strong match.
  • Reddit and comment threads reference the “Mom Karat,” jail imagery, and justice puns as “too on the nose” for anyone but a judge‑turned‑TV personality.
  • A few fans still back Motown‑linked singers (like Otis Williams or Verdine White), since there are Motown‑style hints, but that theory is fading as more clues come out.

Has 14 Karat Carrot Been Officially Revealed?

As of mid‑February 2026, 14 Karat Carrot has not been officially unmasked on the show yet, so everything is still technically a very educated guess. If and when the mask comes off, the show will confirm whether it really is Greg Mathis or someone else.
