Iconic singer and producer Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds and his professional partner Allison Holker were eliminated from Season 23 of Dancing with the Stars as well as former rapper and The Vanilla Ice Project star Vanilla Ice (formally known as Robert Van Winkle) and partner Witney Carson.
Babyface and Vanilla Ice were the third and fourth celebrities, respectively, sent home from the competition based on the combination of the Dancing with the Stars judges' scores and home viewer votes they had received during Monday night's Cirque Du Soleil performance show.
"I look at it this way: I got a chance to come out and dance for my mom. And my mom is proud today that I even came here. I did the foxtrot, I did the jive, I did the Argentine tango. I don't know what the hell it was I did last night, but I had an amazing time," Babyface said following his ouster, sparking a big laugh from the audience.
"Allison has been amazing. She's taught me so many things, and I want to say that this experience, it's an amazing experience, learning to dance with everyone. The family here is amazing... I just want to thank everybody and thank all my fans."

Vanilla Ice went as far as to say his time on Dancing with the Stars was "magical" overall.
"It's a magical experience. I love it; It's great. Dancing makes you happy, and this is just a happy experience," Vanilla Ice explained upon learning the night's last round of elimination results. "I'm honored to be here, and I appreciate all the fans and the people. It's magical, but I appreciate [Witney] more than anything."
Witney noted Vanilla Ice is "the most hardworking man" she's ever met in her "entire life." She said that despite the rapper's grueling concert schedule, he made herself and the show a top priority.
Babyface and Allison landed in eleventh and last place on the judges' leaderboard Monday night with only 18 out of 30 points for their tango routine. The couple had a difficult time making their way around the stage while staying in one spotlight at a time.
Vanilla Ice and Witney tied with two other couples for sixth place on the leaderboard with 23 judges' points. The pair performed a Viennese waltz on this week's performance show.
