On June 5th, 2024, JoJo Siwa celebrated her 21st birthday by taking the stage at the LA Pride In The Park event in Los Angeles.
The former Dance Moms star, who is now dating Madison Rouge Alvarado after judging her on So You Think You Can Dance, delivered a vibrant performance complete with a shocking moment.

During her set, the Omaha-born singer was seen chugging from a bottle of Tito’s vodka in front of the enthusiastic crowd.
Wearing a vibrant outfit with a rainbow top and sparkly silver boots, Siwa danced provocatively with her barely dressed backup dancers.
She even let one of them grind on her during the performance.

Siwa’s controversial claim about LGBTQ+
Siwa’s onstage antics come just two months after she sparked controversy by declaring her intention to establish “gay pop” as an official music genre.
In April, the 21-year-old ignited a social media firestorm when she said she wanted to “start a new genre of music” called “gay pop.”

Her critics pointed out that many LGBTQ+ artists had already been creating pop music for years.
Initially, Siwa backtracked on her comments, telling TMZ that she was not the “inventor of gay pop.”
However, she later doubled down on her vision, telling SiriusX, that she believes “gay pop” deserves its own distinct category, separate from the general pop chart.

The LA Pride event, which took place at the Los Angeles State Historic Park, welcomed a diverse array of entertainment personalities, including Frankie Grande, the brother of Ariana Grande.
But it was Siwa who undoubtedly stole the show with her attention-grabbing performance and controversial on-stage antics.

Siwa’s performance has sparked heated debate on social media.
And it begins… Child star falls after the bottle and trying to stay young. Well, prayers if she has a bad manager or agent, one user said.
God loves you JoJo but you go on and keep playing the victim, the second user criticized Siwa.
It just shows that she’s still a child and has a child mindset because if she had an adult mindset she wouldn’t be doing that, the third user said.
It’s probably filled with water. Either way, she’s allowed. Bear in mind that she’s super young and trying to define herself. Remember that Miley Cyrus had a rather weird number of years in her young 20s. And she seems to be doing great for herself now, another user defended Siwa.
She’s so brave! No 21 year old has EVER done that before! She is such a pioneer! Someone wrote.
Seriously, stop. We all know its apple juice and she is pretending to be drunk. Move along, nothing to see here, another commented.
