AceShowbiz - JoJo Siwa is playing into the trending conspiracy theory involving Beyonce Knowles and Sean "P. Diddy" Combs during an award speech. The singer/dancer gave a shout-out to the Grammy-winning singer as she accepted an award at the Industry Dance Awards on Tuesday, October 8.
In a video circulating online, JoJo could be seen taking the stage to accept her trophy. "I also have to say thank you to Beyonce just so that we can keep the dancing community safe," the "Dance Moms" alum said while giggling in front of the crowd. "Someone had to - and I will be the someone."
Fans had mixed responses to JoJo's shocking shoutout as some found it amusing. "But she's funny for that," an Instagram user wrote. "She's savage! I love her!!" another echoed the sentiment.
One person pointed out that it was brave of JoJo to do so, saying, "This definitely took balls to say." Some others, meanwhile, joked that the "Karma" singer would get consequences for her action. "Oh she coming for you now lol," someone noted, while another added, "Ouuuu she's gonna disappear."
JoJo was highly likely referencing the widely discussed conspiracy theory about Beyonce's possible involvement in Diddy's sex trafficking scandal. It was said that artists in the music industry have historically thanked the "Halo" singer at award shows because they feared of appearing as a threat to Beyonce, her husband Jay-Z and the couple's pal Diddy.
To back the theory, people pointed out that Adele thanked Beyonce during her acceptance speech for Album of the Year at the 2017 Grammys. Lizzo also gave the "Single Ladies" hitmaker a shout-out during her Grammys speech in 2023. The theory also named the incident where Kanye West infamously interrupted Taylor Swift's speech at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards as one of the examples.
