Social media star Lil Tay recently took to Twitter to call out fellow influencer JoJo Siwa. Tay accused Siwa of liking a tweet that referred to her as “pathetic” and a “meme” while also insinuating that she had no career. She demanded that if Siwa had something to say about her, she should say it directly without deleting or unliking any shady comments. Tay went on to criticize Siwa’s success, referencing her YouTube views and Spotify streams.
The drama escalated after fan accounts claimed that Siwa had indeed liked a tweet comparing her career to Lil Tay’s, suggesting that Siwa was in agreement with the diss. However, Siwa’s official account did not show the tweet as being liked in her history. Despite the controversy, Siwa has not publicly responded to the situation, and her representative has not commented on the matter either.
This is not the first time Lil Tay has targeted JoJo Siwa. In the past, Tay had expressed her disdain for the former “Dance Moms” star, particularly after fans compared their careers. Tay also emphasized her independence in music creation, stating that she wrote her own music without assistance. As the feud between the two influencers continues, it remains to be seen whether Siwa will address the ongoing criticism from Lil Tay.
Beyond the personal feud, JoJo Siwa has faced criticism for her recent rebranding efforts and claims regarding her music career. Siwa has compared her transformation to adult stars like Miley Cyrus and Britney Spears, drawing ire from fans. Additionally, Siwa’s assertion that she was pioneering a new genre of music called gay pop, despite its existence for years by other artists, did not sit well with many. Fans also called out Siwa for the similarity between her new single, “Karma,” and a song by Brit Smith from 2012.
Despite the controversies, Brit Smith shared that she was pleasantly surprised that her song, “Karma,” was receiving newfound attention. Smith revealed that the song was initially meant to be her debut single but was eventually replaced by another track. She has since released her own version of the song, titled “Karma’s A Bitch,” which has surpassed Siwa’s rendition on the US iTunes pop charts. The acknowledgment of the song’s origins has shed light on the influence of lesser-known artists in the music industry and the potential impact of viral moments in promoting their work.
