AceShowbiz - On Friday, April 5, JoJo Siwa released the long-awaited music video for "Karma," her first single in four years. Marking a significant departure from her previous family-friendly image, the video showcases a bold and edgy side of the 20-year-old former "Dance Moms" star.
Clad in a KISS-inspired catsuit and theatrical makeup, Siwa engages in a lesbian romp with actress Alexis Warr, who plays the character "Red." The video depicts Siwa's character engaging in wild encounters with multiple women, including one scene where another woman is shown licking her neck.
Alexis Warr, the 2022 winner of "So You Think You Can Dance," met Siwa when she served as a judge on the show. Warr will soon join six-time "Dancing with the Stars" winner Derek Hough on a nationwide tour.
Fans reacted with a mixture of surprise and excitement to the racy video, with many expressing shock at Siwa's transformation. Some commentators praised her for embracing her sexuality and creating a more mature image.
In an interview with ET, Siwa discussed the meaning behind "Karma." She explained that it's about the consequences of one's actions, whether they are positive or negative. Siwa further stated that the song reflects her personal experiences, both her own choices and the actions of others towards her.
Despite the controversy surrounding her new image, Siwa remains unapologetic. She has likened her transformation to that of Miley Cyrus during her "Bangerz" era, referencing the influence of Elvis Presley and Freddie Mercury in her decision to embrace a more daring look.
Siwa's single comes at a time when she is transitioning into adulthood and navigating the challenges of growing up in the public eye. She has expressed her desire to break free from her previous persona and create art that is true to her current identity.
