JoJo Siwa has somberly cleared up any confusion as to why she wasn’t at the Nickelodeon Kid’s Choice Awards on Saturday, despite her song appearing on the show and her nomination for an award. In an Instagram video in which she sported a rainbow necklace and her new cropped haircut, she lamented, “A lot of you have been asking why I’m not at the Nickelodeon Kid’s Choice Awards tonight...and the answer is very simple. I wasn’t invited. I’m not sure why, but I just didn’t get an invite.” She added in the caption, “I don’t want anyone to think it was my choice not to go…. I simply didn’t get an invite:(.”
Siwa is a famous internet personality after spending two seasons on Dance Moms alongside her mother, Jessalynn Siwa. She has put out music, including the popular singles “Kid In A Candy Store” and “Boomerang,” and she posts lifestyle videos to her Youtube channel, which has 12.2 million subscribers. She also made a guest appearance on Dancing With the Stars. It’s curious then, considering her popularity, why she would be overlooked for an invite to perhaps the biggest night for kid stars. Many are wondering if it has something to do with Siwa coming out as queer in 2021.
