How JoJo Siwa Just Made History With Her Controversial 'Karma' Era

Jojo Siwa has made history at Miami Beach Pride with a groundbreaking achievement — her performance of her latest song, "Karma," drew an unprecedented crowd, setting a new record for the event's turnout.

JoJo Siwa's debut performance of her new era at Miami Beach Pride captivated over 55,000 people, setting a record-breaking turnout," Pop Crave wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter) on Monday, April 15. In the accompanying video is Siwa performing at the venue, which took place on Saturday, April 13.

Following the performance, Siwa was asked how she was feeling in an interview. She responded, "That was crazy, I've never ever had a crowd like that." The singer went on to say, "I'll be back."

She donned a white and rainbow bodysuit in homage to the LGBTQ+ pride festivities, complemented by the iconic Kiss makeup with white paint around her eyes.

Siwa's song "Karma" was released on April 5, with an accompanying music video. However, following the release, the former Dance Moms star has been receiving a plethora of hate and negative criticism. This new song has marked the beginning of her rebranding from hair bows and high ponytails to racy outfits and a faux hawk hairstyle.

"I am so stoked because this has been such a long time coming and so much work getting to this point," Siwa shared in a statement. "For 'Karma' to finally be here and finally be in the world's hands is incredible. WE DID IT. It hasn't been easy, it's been hard as s–t, and the criticism has been real, but we did it, and I am just so happy, so proud and so ready for the world to enjoy the show."

Following all the hate she's been receiving about her new image, she responded at the iHeartRadio Music Awards. "People are afraid of things they don't know," Siwa told E! News on April 1. "Things can be scary for people. New things can be very, very scary."
