JoJo Siwa recently appeared on the cover of Ladygunn magazine, which confused many fans with her outfit.
The “Karma” singer was tagged in the publication’s Instagram post, which shows her in an all-gold sequin outfit, including a breastplate and jockstrap, while showing off her arm muscles.
“No hate, I’m honestly just confused,” read one comment.
“Everything I learned about Jojo Siwa, I learned against my will,” joked one person on X.
“She is so interesting,” wrote a third.
“Who is your target audience now?” asked a fourth.
Siwa first rose to fame in the mid-2010s when she appeared Dancing mothers as a young teenager alongside her mother Jessalynn Sita. In 2017, Siwa signed with Nickelodeon and starred in various shows and films on the children’s network before reinventing herself as an “edgy” pop star this year with the release of her first single, “Karma.”
“Her managers are making a fool of her. I really feel sorry for her. She is so young. I really hope she realizes what this all looks like and that she fixes it before it’s too late. They are ruining her career,” wrote one more critical commenter.
Others viewed the outfit as a symbol of their new identity.
“How about if everyone could wear whatever they damn well wanted,” one comment read. “How about this? Clothes have no gender. All these comments prove how much people are controlled by gender norms. This has to be this and that has to be that. You can’t wear that because you have to whine, whine, whine…”
“JoJo is a genius. An icon. A legend. And will always be in your memory,” wrote another. “You love to hate her, but here you are, literally SUPPORTING her with your hate. Good or bad attention or opinion, she still rakes in the money… so who is REALLY the clown here? Get it, JoJo! You’re fucking awesome!”
This isn’t the first time Siwa has sparked heated reactions for her outfit. Earlier this year, she attended the iHeart Radio Music Awards wearing the same outfit she wore in her “Karma” music video. Many fans felt she stole the outfit from KISS’s iconic black and white makeup.
Gene Simmons from the band said TMZ Back then, he knew he liked the outfit and anyone who didn’t like it was probably “jealous” of Siwa.
“Never be ordinary. Always be extraordinary. JoJo is extraordinary and she looks cool,” the rocker told the outlet.
In an interview with E! News At the awards ceremony, Siwa admitted that the judgment probably only came from people who were “afraid of change.”
“People are afraid of things they don’t know,” she told the outlet on the red carpet. “Things can scare people. New things can be very, very scary.”
