Rania's comments:
JoJo Siwa gets a lot of heat, Ariana's Nona breaks a record, Kid Cudi joins Coachella, and Charlie and Troye Sivan go on tour. YoungBoy Never Broke Again has been arrested. 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 17. Everyone has been talking about JoJo Siwa since he released “Karma,” but now it's not just people trolling on the Internet. JoJo Siwa clarifies that viral moment while others jump on the hate train. Practically everyone saw that moment from our interview with JoJo Siwa, well JoJo clarified what he was referring to on SiriusXM. That wasn't the only criticism JoJo received after releasing “Karma.” People online dug up an unreleased version of Brit Smith's 12-year-old song and accused JoJo of stealing the track. Jojo told TMZ she didn't steal it. Rock Mafia, who reportedly wrote the song for Miley Cyrus at the time, recorded a version with Brit Smith that didn't see the light of day until it recently appeared on TikTok. Well, Brit released his version and a lot of people bought it on iTunes to apparently spite JoJo. One person who is definitely not a JoJo fan? Lil Tay. After people online compared the young rapper who went viral after an online death hoax to JoJo, she told people not to compare them.
