JoJo Siwa Shocks Fans with New Brown Hair, Says Goodbye to Trademark Blonde

The Nickelodeon star's signature blonde ponytail is no more.


JoJo Siwa has said goodbye to her trademark blonde locks.

On Friday, the 17-year-old Nickelodeon star debuted a new brown hair color. In an Instagram video, JoJo used the popular TikTok sound "I'm not gonna do it" to reveal the dramatic do.

"Girl, don't do it, it's not worth it," the voiceover said as a platinum blonde JoJo showed off her signature high pony and bow.

"I'm not gonna do it girl, I was just thinking about it, I'm not gonna do it...," she lipsynced the words.

The clip then cut to the dancer walking into the frame with her new chocolate brown hair, which was down and curled.

"I did it," JoJo lipsynced.

The Dance Moms alum captioned the video, "Wait for it..."

JoJo also showed off her new look on TikTok. In a clip, the pop star is seen with her blonde ponytail as she lipsyncs the words to Miley Cyrus' "Can't Be Tamed."

When she reached the lyrics, "I can't be tamed," JoJo spins around and unveils her fresh, dark locks once again.

And JoJo's fans went absolutely nuts over her drastic change.

"Bruh. I. WAS. NOT. READY! Killed it. Yes," a fan wrote, while another commented, "NOT JOJO USING THE MUSIC MILEY MADE WHEN SHE STARTED CHANGING. IM SO EXCITED EEEEEEEE"

"jojo youre literally going to save 2020," another added.

Perez Hilton also weighed in, writing, "I was not expecting that! Love the makeover! Brunette JoJo should have her own name! Jo?."

One person several fans said that they hope would comment on JoJo's new look? Dance Moms matriarch Abby Lee Miller. And yes, Abby shared her thoughts on JoJo's Instagram post. In typical Abby fashion, she appeared to scream her comment.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" Abby simply wrote, adding a shocked face emoji.

JoJo's posts came just a few hours after she spoke out about the accusations of Blackface being used in her latest music video for her song, "Nonstop."

"I would like to address the music video that we shot for 'NONSTOP' in February," the YouTube star began on Instagram. "We're talking about kids dressing up as circus animals! No one in my video is wearing Blackface. It's awful that anyone's mind would even go there. Kids dressing in animal costumes, having their faces painted to look like animals, acting the part. There were zebras, tigers, dogs, clowns, mermaids, everything."

"I've addressed Black Lives Matter issues previously on my social media, I will say it again for the ones in the back, Black Lives Matter, today, tomorrow, yesterday and forever," she continued. "I'm on the right side of history here. Stop trying to make this about something it isn't."

JoJo Siwa Addresses 'Awful' Blackface Allegations After 'Nonstop' Music Video Sparks Backlash

JoJo Siwa is speaking out.


On Friday, June 26, internet users criticized the 17-year-old Nickelodeon star and social media phenomenon for featuring a young dancer in the music video for "Nonstop" who appears to be wearing brown facial makeup and monkey ears. In the circus-themed visual, which was released on June 19, the day Juneteenth is honored, JoJo performs alongside a number of dancers dressed in various animal costumes.

The comments on the YouTube video were turned off after some compared the dancer's makeup to blackface. Others also claimed they were blocked by JoJo for scrutinizing the music video.

"When is @itsjojosiwa going to address the little girl in blackface in her latest music video?" one user tweeted. Another added, "...it's safe to say white privilege and ignorance is what she chooses to use her platform towards millions of kids for."

JoJo shared a lengthy statement in response, which read in part, "I would like to address the music video that we shot for ‘NONSTOP' in February. We're talking about kids dressing up as circus animals! No one in my video is wearing blackface. It's awful that anyone's mind would even go there. Kids dressing in animal costumes, having their faces painted to look like animals, acting the part."

The Dance Moms alum continued, "I've addressed Black Lives Matter issues previously on my social media, I will say it again for the ones in the back, Black Lives Matter, today, tomorrow, yesterday and forever. I'm on the right side of history here. Stop trying to make this about something it isn't."

"I love my real fans and am so grateful for their love and support. Instead of trying to drag everyone down, let's be positive and come back like a boomerang."

JoJo also addressed a recent Instagram post in which she denounced "mean" comments left on her page. Some fans assumed this was JoJo's response to the blackface accusations, however she insists that wasn't the case.

This is for all the people I blocked today.... peace out girl scout.✌️ This is my instagram and anyone who is going to be mean is NOT going to be allowed on here. People are bossing me around, telling me who to follow, what to post, what to like, what to say, what to do, everything. It’s not about what you do on social media it’s about what you do in real life. I said it best when I was 12 “Hide behind the screen cause their just so mean. but we don’t play it like that, we don’t even fight back”..... and now this is for everyone who is being kind right now.... thank you❤️! I really do see your posts, I really do read your captions, and I really do appreciate them. More than you know.❤️ also side note.... People went to my DOGS instagram. my DOG. to hate on me. iconic! 🐶

"I need to set the record straight about a few things because some have been irresponsible in recent stories and posts about me, and everyone seems to rush to conclusions without having all of the facts," she wrote. "My Instagram post yesterday had absolutely nothing to do with the criticism I received on my music video ‘NONSTOP.'"

Instead, the teen said she blocked and unfollowed certain accounts because she "was tired of seeing the personal hate on me."

"Some people will do anything for attention and that includes being mean. People were sending me really horrible and disgusting messages about my appearance, my sexuality, my content, and overall just being hateful," Siwa explained.

On June 1, Siwa publicly expressed support for the Black Lives Matter, writing on Instagram, "For the last 17 years of my life I have been taught to love and support everyone, and now that is something that I try and teach the new generation of kids everyday... No matter your color, size, sexuality, if you are a good person, which is ALL that matters, I will stand by your side."

“I didn’t do anything that needs an apology,” she wrote on Twitter Friday evening after releasing her statement, “this is me clearing things up.”

Twitter User Discovers Satellite Photo of Venice Looks Remarkably Like Patrick Star

Is this Patrick? No, this is Venice!


A Twitter user named Tron Madden has discovered that a satellite map of Venice in Italy remarkably resembles the 'thirsty Patrick Star' scene and meme from and inspired by Nickelodeon's beloved animated series, SpongeBob SquarePants!

Madden took to his Twitter page to share the image of the map of Venice alongside Patrick Star's image and captioned the post saying that the map had a striking resemblance to SpongeBob’s best buddy who lives under a rock in the underwater city of Bikini Bottom.

Instantly, Twitter users poured in an assortment of reactions stating that “there's a SpongeBob reference for every life moment.” With more than 123 thousand retweets and nearly 690 thousand likes, the Tweet launched a series of discussions as some said that “this isn’t a coincidence, king of Italy loved that episode so much so he designed Venice after that image,” while others were more curious about how had Madden managed to notice such a strange detail on the map.


“The real question is how on earth did you come to that conclusion?”, a commenter enquired. Further, people posted all sorts of hilarious reactions to Madden’s “funny” observation as one asked, “Why does Patrick need water if he lives in the ocean?” and another added, “Because he is in Sandy's dome”.

The commenter is referring to Sandy Cheeks, a diving suit-wearing squirrel who lives in a treedome in Bikini Bottom. In the episode "Tea at the Treedome", after SpongeBob and Patrick enter Sandy's waterless treedome, they quickly dehydrate, and Sandy helps revive the pair by creating aqua helmets. “Life imitates art,” wrote a user relating the interpretation of the map with the artistic vision of Madden, calling the discovery just a perspective.
