Former Dance Moms member turned YouTube star JoJo Siwa is facing backlash after an independent music artist accused her of stealing her song. Here’s everything we know so far.
JoJo Siwa is causing controversy online thanks to her bold new look. It was a drastic change from her usual glitter and rainbow beauty look, with the star instead opting for Kiss-style face paint and dark gothic outfits.
She’s entering a new era, one that she claims is “not for kids” — but that’s not the only thing causing some backlash from viewers.
In April 2024, Siwa performed one of her new songs at a live event. Titled ‘Choose Your Warrior’, Siwa claims the song is about one of her exes and features a special ad-lib in which she says ‘you’re welcome’ after the line: “Some of my exes are nobody/some of my exes have reputations.”
