“You know, you might have a competitor, Chameleon. You may not know this about me, but I can spit some flow. Yes,” she said.

“Drop some knowledge,” panelist Robin Thicke said.

Wilson, 64, then started rapping the Naughty By Nature classic, “Hip Hop Hooray.” Thicke, along with fellow panelists Ken Jeong and Jenny McCarthy stood on their feet and joined host Nick Cannon and the Chameleon, who all waved their hands back and forth as Wilson reached the song's chorus.

“That’s classic television right there!” Cannon exclaimed when Wilson finished.

Wilson, whose latest EP "Trilogy I" was released last month, also shared the impromptu moment on Twitter.

"And then this happened," she tweeted.

Fans were excited to see her share her secret talent. "Loved it! It just boggles my mind and amazes me how rappers memorize so much, do it so quick, and do it flawlessly. You are awesome," one replied.

"You kicked butt!" another fan added.

Wilson is certainly no stranger to rapping even though she's built a career in country music. Her son Chet, whom she shares with Tom Hanks, is a rapper and last year, Wilson posted a video of herself singing the the ‘90s hit while she was in quarantine after testing positive for the coronavirus.

“Quarantine Stir Crazy,” she captioned the video, which runs for more than four minutes. “See it to believe it.”
