Competing as L'Ane (The Donkey), Billy performed throughout the competition in a playful costume featuring a smiling donkey paired with a cowboy-inspired outfit and hat.
He also shared that the character held special meaning for him, as he chose the costume with his son, Amari, in mind.
"L'Ane was a very special character to me because I chose it with my son Amari in mind. I figured if he loved it, everyone else would too!" he shared.

"Mask Singer" is a French reality television series based on the South Korean television game show "King of Mask Singer."
In the competition, celebrity contestants perform in elaborate costumes while keeping their identities hidden until they are eliminated and unmasked.
Billy secured the title by performing both French and English songs, including "Le Portrait," "I Feel Good," and "Uptown Funk."
In the finals, Billy went head-to-head with singer Carla Lazzari, who competed as Le Poussin.
Back in 2022, Billy also won the French edition of "Dancing with the Stars."
