Was there drinking? Yes. But she also celebrated at Disney.<\/p>\n<p>The newly minted 21-year-old took to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@itsjojosiwa\/video\/7370568292471196970\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TikTok<\/a> to share the aftermath of what looks like a classic twenty-first birthday.<\/p>\n<p>In the video, she appears to stumble around. She\u2019s in a small kitchen. Confetti covers the floor. She\u2019s dressed casually. And the counters behind her boast an array of bottles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s my 21st birthday, I\u2019m drunk as f\u2013k right now,\u201d JoJo tells her fans and followers as the video begins.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"\/>\n<h2 id=\"h-jojo-reports-i-got-punched-in-the-eye\">JoJo reports: \u2018I got punched in the eye\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>We see JoJo dodging as objects come hurtling towards her from off-camera. Fortunately, as she quickly explains, she\u2019s not being attacked: \u201cIt\u2019s my bread I\u2019m supposed to eat.\u201d (Eating food helps reduce the effects of alcohol, to an extent)<\/p>\n<p>However, JoJo also shows off what appears to be a shiner beneath her right eye, reporting: \u201cI got punched in the eye, it hurts really bad but I\u2019m okay.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>JoJo reassures her unseen companions that she\u2019s okay. Then she turns back to the camera and offers a stage whisper of: \u201cI\u2019m not okay.\u201d She is, seemingly, joking.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"\/>\n<p>Another TikTok clip showed JoJo celebrating her birthday at Disney World. <\/p>\n<p>Though she and others made use of filters reminiscent of JoJo\u2019s new look from early April, there was no sign of her having been punched in the face. So it remains unclear when that happened.<\/p>\n<p>The filter itself refers to one of JoJo\u2019s more dramatic recent looks \u2014 from her music video to \u201cKarma.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"JoJo Siwa - Karma (Official Video)\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VZIm_2MgdeA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"h-karma-received-a-mixed-reception-sorry-jojo\">\u2018Karma\u2019 received a mixed reception (sorry JoJo)<\/h2>\n<p>Though JoJo\u2019s \u201cI got punched\u201d video has an embedded message to remind people to stream \u201cKarma,\u201d it did not receive the warm reception that she wanted. Not from everyone.<\/p>\n<p>The song isn\u2019t bad. JoJo\u2019s version of the song isn\u2019t bad.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the most fair criticism of JoJo\u2019s new single is that it reminds people of Miley Cyrus\u2019 cringe-yet-understandable <em>Can\u2019t Be Tamed<\/em> era. When we first observed that fact, we had no idea how right we were.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Karma\u2019s a b****- Brit Smith-music video\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fVT9A2XZhXk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Over a dozen years ago, Miley turned down the song, \u201cKarma.\u201d Even though it would have been perfect for her immediate post-Disney persona. Instead, it trickled its way down through the years for JoJo to perform. Not her only <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehollywoodgossip.com\/2022\/12\/jojo-siwa-i-dumped-avery-cyrus-because-she-was-using-me-for-clout\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">link to the Cyrus family<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Incidentally, another took up the mantle. Brit Smith performed \u201cKarma.\u201d It\u2019s arguably a better iteration of the song than JoJo produced (even among people who enjoyed JoJo\u2019s version), and is experiencing a <a href=\"https:\/\/atrl.net\/forums\/topic\/472631-brit-smiths-karma-outcharting-jojos-surprised\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">bit of a renaissance on streaming charts<\/a> as people draw the comparison.<\/p>\n<p>Music taste is subjective.
