JoJo Siwa stops concert to yell at fan who booed her

JoJo Siwa was booed by a fan as she performed onstage, so she stopped her concert and addressed the heckler.

JoJo Siwa was booed by a fan as she performed onstage – and she wasn’t happy about it.

The 21-year-old was part of American drag queen Trixie Mattel’s Solid Pink Disco Pride Tour on Saturday during NYC Pride when she stopped mid-performance to locate the heckler.

“Who the living f**k just booed me? Where the f**k did that come from?” she yelled into the microphone, as seen in a Twitter video making the rounds.

“Which one of you? Which one of you?” she demanded, while pacing the stage.

The clip then skips to the singer appearing calmer and holding a sign made by one of her fans, before once again turning her attention to the heckler.

“Respectfully, f**k you,” she suddenly yelled, before picking up a bouquet from a fan and placing one flower stem down her hotpants.

“F**k the booers, somebody just chucked a bra at me,” she rejoiced Siwa, who came out as a member of the LGBTQ+ community back in 2021.

The singer demanded to know where the boos were coming from.

The former Dance Moms star has copped some backlash in recent months following the release of her single Karma in April when she appeared to rebrand as a good girl gone bad.

In her music video, Siwa paid homage to iconic rock band Kiss, complete with the trademark star covering her eye. But fans felt her rebrand was disingenuous and manufactured.

“It’s been fun. It’s been criticised, that’s for sure,” she told E! News at the iHeartRadio Awards that same month.

“People are afraid of things they don’t know. Things can be scary for people. New things can be very, very scary.

“But I think that creating art is such a special, special thing, and I’m very lucky that I’m one of the people in the world that gets to create art.”

Kiss co-frontman Gene Simmons has given his stamp of approval.

“JoJo is cool. Anybody who doesn’t get it is just jealous, period,” Simmons, 74, toldPeople magazine of her outfit. “JoJo is extraordinary and she looks cool.”

Siwa also found herself under fire in May when she appeared to be drunk when celebrating her 21st birthday at Disney World in Florida.

“It’s my 21st birthday. I’m drunk as f**k right now!” she said in a social media video before revealing a swollen eye.

“I got punched in the eye. It hurts really bad, but I’m OK,” she added.

Fans rushed to comment on the videos, with one questioning the star: “Is everything OK? This seems really odd...” and another replying: “What is going on?”

One thing’s for sure: the colourful, bow-wearing pre-tween is gone for good.

“She will never come back, but I will never hate her,” she told Us Weekly at the Dance Moms: The Reunion premiere in April.

“I’m always going to be proud of her. That kid got through some s**t.”
