Jojo Siwa appeared on the Punk’d reboot and was successfully pranked.
In a clip shared over the weekend, the ‘Karma’ singer was filmed sitting in the back of an SUV as her driver gets pulled over by what appears to be FBI officers.
“Getting pulled over by the secret agents?” she jokes on the ‘Punk You’ episode. “This is a new one.” The actor posing as an agent tells the former Dance Moms star that someone named JoJo Siwa has been committing wire fraud, bank fraud and credit card fraud.
She then calls her mother, Jessalynn Siwa, to tell her what’s going on. “I got pulled over by the FBI. They brought us up to the rooftop of a parking structure, and apparently somebody is stealing my identity,” she tells her over the phone, unaware that Jessalynn is on it.
“I’m shook, because like what the fuck is happening right now?” she says in a panic. Her mother later revealed Siwa entirely fell for the prank. “Her code word is ‘Beyoncé,” she explained. “And she texted me ‘Beyoncé.”
Elsewhere, she made headlines earlier this month after comparing her posing with a bulge to Harry Styles wearing a dress.
She joined Hailey Welch – otherwise known as the viral “Hawk Tuah” girl – who gained fame following her participation in an entertaining street-interview video which led to multiple memes, edits and a desperate search to try and identify the girl in the clip, as a guest on her Talk Tuah podcast.
During the interview, Siwa discussed her cover photo for LadyGunn which saw the former child star sport a bedazzled gold chest plate and a matching thong with a bulge peeking through. The cover sparked controversy with some fans and readers sharing their confusion and dislike of the cover while others cheered her on.

“The stone bulge is — we were just giving a little spice, a little gender-bend, a little you can be anything you want to be,” Siwa told Welch, explaining the choice of outfit. “It just was spicing myself up a little. It’s like back in the day when Harry Styles wore a dress. Obviously, wearing a bulge is a little different than wearing a dress.”
Siwa was referring to the ‘Watermelon Sugar’ singer’s Vogue cover for their December 2020 issue in which Syles made history as US Vogue’s first-ever male solo cover star where he was pictured wearing a Gucci dress and skirt.
“One thing about me is I like to be for the people who are different, for the people who don’t fit in and the people who are unafraid to take risks. Being that person, I have to go as far as I possibly can into the risk zone,” Siwa added.
