JoJo Siwa, the former child star known for her colorful bows and wholesome image, has caused quite a stir with her latest music video for the single “Karma.” In the visually stunning yet controversial clip, JoJo sheds her innocent persona and embraces a more mature, provocative image, leaving fans stunned and divided.
The song screams lukewarmness, suggesting a full commitment to image but only a tepid embrace of music. With actual lyrics like “Karma’s a bitch,” she aims for edginess but falls short, unable to even say “fuck around” convincingly. It’s like Kidz Bop with a swear word. Despite trying to be taken seriously, it reads as a parody, lacking the effortless cool of fellow Dance Mom alum Maddie Ziegler in her youth. JoJo’s transition to adult work maintains her trademark cheesiness, but it feels forced, failing to convey the bad girl persona she seeks.
This transformation, though fitting her image, lacks the substance needed for genuine impact. Her ties to Dance Moms further complicate matters, as she defends her past while attempting to redefine herself. Perhaps this transformation simply aligns with who JoJo truly is, explaining its lackluster reception. Regardless, her undeniable confidence shines through as she fearlessly pursues her vision.
In the video, JoJo is seen engaging in a series of provocative acts, including a steamy lesbian romp with another girl while dressed in a KISS-inspired catsuit. The scenes are a far cry from the family-friendly image that JoJo has cultivated over the years, and the fans have a lot to say about it.
Despite her young fanbase, JoJo doesn’t hold back in the video, from grinding on other women to being licked and caressed, JoJo leaves little to the imagination as she explores themes of rebellion and self-discovery.
While some fans have praised JoJo for embracing her sexuality and breaking free from societal expectations, others have expressed concern over the direction of her career flocking to the comments section of the video to share their thoughts, with one commenter expressing surprise, saying, ‘OK so all this buildup was to see her humping that girl [crying emoji].’
‘I now have permanent trauma from watching Jojo hump someone,’ another person added.
‘Why is she licking Jojo!?!?!’ someone else inquired.
Another fan wrote: ‘Jojo in her Miley Cyrus bad girl era.’
A few fans remained unconvinced by the singer’s transition to a more mature sound, with one remarking, ‘The fact that she still looks and sounds 12 [skull emoji].’
Fans further voiced their opinions at the video’s sultry undertones, with one commenting, “I find it amusing how the entire comment section is just filled with ‘Did she really just hump her!?'”.
Many have questioned whether JoJo’s new image is appropriate for her young audience, while others have criticized her for abandoning her wholesome image in favor of shock value.
