A card game marketed to young fans of Nickelodeon star and tween influencer JoJo Siwa is receiving 1-star reviews for what parents are calling "inappropriate" questions. The game "JoJo's Juice" is intended for audiences aged 6 and up, and it's currently available for purchase online at Walmart and on Amazon, among other retailers, for around $20. But mom and TikTok user Heather Watson pointed out in a viral video that has been seen more than 3 million times that "JoJo's Juice" contains material that seemingly should be advertised to older audiences. "JoJo's Juice" has category questions like "Who knows JoJo best?," "Who knows me best?," and "Truth or dare?" Players write the answers to the questions on dry-erase bows. But as Watson pointed out, mixed in with innocent questions are ones like "Have you ever stolen from a store?" and "Have you ever walked in on someone naked or had someone walk in on you?" On TikTok, a comment with more than 43,000 likes says "This is like textbook grooming language." The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children defines grooming as an older person using their relationship with a child to exploit, manipulate, and abuse them. More recently, media or artifacts that have entered pop culture, like the controversial 2020 French film "Cuties," have been lumped into a broader definition of grooming, in which media that sexualizes children or exposes children to sexual behavior is considered harmful to audiences. The other "JoJo's Juice" cards Watson took issue with said "Have you ever been arrested?," "Who in this room would you most like to date?," "Have you ever gone outside without underwear (a bathing suit doesn't count)?," and "Have you ever taken money from someone's purse or wallet without asking?," as well as cards that asked players if they had "Kissed a boy" and "Learned the art of twerking."

Tween superstar JoJo Siwa addressed her 31 million TikTok followers on Monday night about a brewing controversy over an "inappropriate" game in her Nickelodeon merchandise line. Parents complained that Siwa's game "JoJo's Juice" asked players questions like "Have you ever walked in on someone naked or had someone walk in on you?" and "Have you ever gone outside without underwear (a bathing suit doesn't count)?" despite its intended audience of children aged 6 and up. Siwa told her TikTok audience that she hadn't reviewed the content of "JoJo's Juice" before or since its 2018 release, but that she alerted Nickelodeon to the backlash.

He recently dropped his latest track, ‘Beatbox Freestyle’, along with a music video, but many fans were puzzled to hear him mention the name of Dance Moms alumnus JoJo Siwa. With DaBaby never appearing to be linked to Siwa in any way in the past, her name popping up in his song was certainly a surprise. As DaBaby raps the line “You a b*tch, JoJo Siwa b*tch”, he holds up a photo of her on his phone, so fans are left with no doubt about who he was referring to. The question of why he was referring to her, however, remained a mystery. Although DaBaby offered no explanation for JoJo’s surprise feature in his track, it is likely that there isn’t any actual beef between the two. Firstly, it is worth noting that Siwa isn’t the only celebrity DaBaby mentions in the song – he also raps about TI and Stevie Wonder. Did DaBaby diss JoJo Siwa? Genius, an online collection of song lyrics that also breaks down their hidden meanings, offers a pretty convincing explanation as to why JoJo was mentioned. Offering their analysis of the line, Genius said on their website: “DaBaby compares the tendencies of his opposition to JoJo. In response, he promises to make them remember not to mess with him. Here, ‘Siwa’ functions as a homophone with ‘see why’.” In light of this, it can be said that the mention of Siwa in the track is nothing more than a coincidence: her name just happened to be a good rhyme. But, that didn’t stop fans on the internet going into overdrive…
