We go behind the scenes with Billboard cover star Tyla and Tate McRae takes us Behind The Photo. Another day, another Billboard News. I’m Rania Aniftos and it’s Wednesday, April 17th. Everyone’s been talking about JoJo Siwa since she released “Karma,” but it’s not just people trolling on the internet now. JoJo Siwa clarifies that viral moment while some others hop on the hate train. Practically everyone saw that moment of our interview with JoJo Siwa, well JoJo clarified what she meant on SiriusXM. That wasn’t the only flack JoJo got after releasing “Karma.” Folks online dug up an unreleased version of the song by Brit Smith from 12 years ago accusing JoJo of stealing the track. Jojo told TMZ that she didn’t steal it. Rock Mafia who wrote the song allegedly for Miley Cyrus at the time recorded a version with Brit Smith that didn’t see the light of day until it showed up on TikTok recently. Well Brit released her version and many people bought it on iTunes in order to, what looks like, spite JoJo. One person who definitely is not a fan of JoJo? Lil Tay. After people online compared the young rapper who went viral after an online death hoax to JoJo, she told people to not compare them.
