“ICONIC. I actually do not know what to say that is fucking loopy. 3 and a half minute skit on SNL,” the previous baby star shared in response to the skit
It solely took a whole month, however Saturday Night time Reside has lastly jumped on the JoJo Siwa rebrand prepare. Throughout this weekend’s Dua Lipa-hosted episode, solid member Chloe Fineman reworked into the previous baby star for an look on Weekend Replace, the place she declared: “I’m the primary homosexual woman on this planet.”
Fineman wore an in depth recreation of Siwa’s glittering black outfit from the “Karma” music video and spent practically 4 full minutes parodying the 20-year-old’s good woman gone unhealthy transformation. Siwa reposted the skit on Instagram Tales, writing: “ICONIC. I actually don’t know what to say that is fucking loopy. 3 and a half minute skit on SNL.”
Some reactions to the skit throughout social media criticized SNL for being too harsh on Siwa, who’s pivoting to a brand new artistic picture after being positioned as a bow-wearing baby star for greater than a decade. However except for a number of comedic liberties — like Fineman-as-Siwa responding to the query of how outdated she is with “Effectively, from 2011 to 2023, I used to be eight” — the skit echoed statements she’s made herself.

With the brand new skit, Siwa is getting precisely what she needed. “As I acquired older, I actually needed to create stuff that was gonna make the world say, ‘What the fuck?’” she shared at a listening celebration simply earlier than “Karma” was launched in April. “And the enjoyable factor is with ‘Karma,’ I needed this primary breakout grownup second to do this. I needed this primary grownup breakout second to make folks’s heads flip.”
