JoJo Siwa is ringing in 21 with a bang.
The “Karma” singer took to TikTok on her birthday on Sunday (May 21) to share a tipsy video amid her celebratory festivities. “It’s my 21st birthday. I’m drunk as f— right now,” she tells the camera in the clip, appearing to be in her kitchen with bottles of alcohol on the counter behind her. An off-camera friend then throws a piece of bread her way, and Siwa picks it up off the ground after missing it, and eats it.
“I got punched in the eye,” she revealed, showing a bump on her left eye. “It was really bad, but I’m OK.”
Siwa came out strong to announce her more adult era in April with a new look, a new single titled “Karma” and a new attitude, but after comments she made to Billboard in an interview about how she is forging a trail for a new brand of LGBTQ-friendly pop raised some questions, the singer clarified her original statement in a TMZ video.
“I think I just want to make it more clear that gay pop is a genre,” Siwa said. “I am not the inventor of gay pop, for sure not. But I do want to be a piece of making it bigger than it already is. I want to bring more attention to it… I’m not the president [of gay pop], but I might be the CEO, or the CMO. I can be the CMO, the chief marketing officer, and use my marketing tactics whether people like it or not.”
