JoJo Siwa vs. Lil Tay How Their Bitter FEUD Began E! News

Transcript

00:00 Jojo Siwa and Lil Tay are at the center of the latest celebrity feud.

00:05 Over the last week, the Dance Moms alum and the Canadian rapper have been busy throwing

00:09 shade at each other online.

00:11 And it seems the beef all started April 12th when Lil Tay responded to an ex post sharing

00:16 a clip of her Sucker for Green music video, where a user compared her to Jojo.

00:21 The 16-year-old clapped back, writing, "Wish I didn't just find out who that is.

00:26 I wrote Sucker for Green myself, didn't buy the song or hire a ghostwriter.

00:31 Please don't mention me and her in the same sentence."

00:35 The influencer, who went viral late last year for a death hoax, then doubles down on her

00:39 disdain for the Karma singer in another ex post, saying, "I didn't know who she was,

00:44 but after some research I found out she associates with pedophiles, buys her songs and doesn't

00:49 write her music.

00:50 And I take my music very seriously and don't want to be compared to frauds."

00:55 E! News has reached out to rapster Jojo for comment, but has not yet heard back.

01:00 The So You Think You Can Dance judge, whose latest single, "Karma," was originally

01:04 recorded by Brit Smith in 2012, may have subtly responded to Lil Tay's claims.

01:09 Several fan accounts are sharing screenshots showing Jojo allegedly liked a post that read,

01:14 "There's really no comparison between Jojo and Lil Tay anyway.

01:19 Jojo Siwa has a career.

01:21 Lil Tay is just a meme and a pathetic one at that."

01:24 And while Jojo's like history on ex no longer shows the post, Lil Tay then added fuel to

01:29 the fire by directly calling her out, tagging the dancer in an April 16th ex post, writing,

01:35 "@itsjojosiwa you're a scary ass b****.

01:38 If you have something to say about me, say it and this time don't delete your comment

01:43 or unlike shady tweets.

01:45 Don't let those paid YouTube views and botted Spotify streams get to your head, Madonna

01:49 from Dollar Tree ass b****."

01:51 Since releasing "Karma," the 20-year-old has promoted the track by launching a quote,

01:56 "rebrand of herself," which she's compared to Miley Cyrus' "Bangers" era.

02:00 However fans don't appear to be on board, as the original, previously unreleased version

02:04 of the song recorded by Brit in 2012 has outcharted Jojo's single on iTunes.

02:10 And despite backlash surrounding her allegedly re-recording the track, Jojo maintains it's

02:14 her song, telling TMZ in a statement April 12th, "I didn't steal anything.

02:20 There's no such thing as stealing.

02:22 What happens is people write songs and then they don't do anything with them.

02:27 Then a few years later it makes sense for another artist."
