The former child reality star JoJo Siwa is all grown up and continues to be a polarizing figure in the entertainment industry with her eye-raising antics and bonkers statements on social media.

Her latest stunt was getting a tattoo of the words, "CEO OF GAY POP," a reference to a statement she made expressing a desire to "start a new genre of music" she would call "gay pop."

Siwa's audacious ambition to pioneer the queer music genre, which already exists, btw, came in April when she debuted her first official single as an adult artist, called "Karma," after years of being in the spotlight from her tweens on shows like Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition and various programs on Nickelodeon.

She went on to cite Lady Gaga's "Applause" and Miley Cyrus's "Can't Be Tamed" as examples of the genre and further described it as:

“That world of music, where it’s not necessarily pop–it’s not giving you Katy Perry ‘California Girls’ pop, it’s giving you Lady Gaga ‘Judas.'"

Siwa received backlash for her statements, with one commenter humbling her with a list of established artists in gay pop, such as Elton John, Wham!, and Queen.

When asked if she would walk back her previous comments on inventing the genre, she clarified:

"I am not the inventor of gay pop, for sure not. ... I might not be the president, but I might be the CEO, or the CMO."

But it seems the 21-year-old has permanently leaned into the title of CEO despite previously admitting she was not the progenitor of gay pop.

Here is Pink News's TikTok clip of Siwa getting inked with the identifying moniker.

Siwa is setting her sights on the future with a desire to compete in next year's Eurovision Song Contest to represent her heritage country of Poland.

The international competition launched the career of the original pioneers of gay pop, ABBA, after becoming the first Swedish group to win with their hit song "Waterloo" in 1974.

Rob Schneider Dragged For Criticizing Elizabeth Banks' 'Dangerous Rhetoric' After She Called Out White Female Trump Voters

After actor and filmmaker Elizabeth Banks—who played Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games—called out white women who voted for President Donald Trump, MAGA actor Rob Schneider lashed out against what he referred to as her "dangerous rhetoric."

Those who've read the book and seen the film adaptation of The Hunger Games know that Trinket—known for joyfully announcing, "Happy Hunger Games and the odds may be ever in your favor!"—is a mistress of propaganda for a hostile government that forces teenagers to fight to the death every year to intimidate critics and keep society's poorest and most vulnerable in line. Trinket eventually embraces the rebellion.

Trump's Border Czar Ripped For Hypocrisy After Telling Pope Leo To 'Stay Out Of Politics'

President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan was called out for hypocrisy after telling Pope Leo XIV to "stay out of politics" after he clashed with Trump over the widely unpopular war in Iran.

Last week, Pope Leo criticized the war and called on the world "to reject war, especially a war which many people have said is an unjust war, which is continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything."
