Mastermind left America's Got Talent (AGT) due to "personal reasons," as announced by host Terry Crews and confirmed by Mastermind himself in an Instagram statement. While the official explanation given was limited to this phrase, fans and commentators speculate that the reasons may include conflicts with his real-life fame and identity, contractual issues related to his Las Vegas performances, or the overwhelming demands and pressures of the competition. Mastermind expressed gratitude for the opportunity and emphasized the importance of self-care and personal well-being in his decision to withdraw from the show despite having advanced to the semifinals.
