Joelle Joanie "JoJo" Siwa, is a 17-year-old who dances, sings and has a successful YouTube channel, mostly for children.
After much-criticized allusions circulating on the internet for a few days, JoJo posted a video on TikTok with the song "Born This Way", Lady Gaga's hit, widely regarded as an LGBTQ anthem.
The video has more than 4.8 million likes and over 28 million views and to date, is Siwa's most viral video on TikTok.
Out of over 280,000 comments on the video, various influencers like James Charles, Colleen Ballinger, Nikkie de Jager, Bretman Rock and others congratulated and praised him for the video.
On Friday, Siwa posted a photo on Twitter of a T-shirt that read "Best Gay Cousin," saying her cousin bought it for her.
