JoJo Siwa Proudly Wears 'Best Gay Cousin' Shirt Amid Sexuality Speculation

Jojo Siwa's new t-shirt may be a fashion statement in more than one way. Siwa appeared to address the speculation surrounding her sexuality on Friday. She shared a picture of herself on her Instagram story wearing a shirt that read "BEST. GAY. COUSIN. EVER." "Thanks for the shirt cousin," she captioned the social media update.

She also responded to a tweet from YouTuber Colleen Ballinger, who wrote: "I've known you a long time and this is the happiest I've ever seen you. You're absolutely glowing and I'm so proud of the woman you are becoming! love yoooou!" Ballinger ended the tweet with a rainbow emoji. "I love you so much," Siwa responded.

Showing off her new shirt comes a couple days after two noteworthy TikTok videos the singer showed up in. On Wednesday, Siwa shared a video of herself dancing on TikTok to Lady Gaga's "Born this Way. Since the song dropped in 2011, it's been celebrated as an LGBTQ+ anthem.

She mouthed the words: "No matter gay, straight or bi, lesbian transgender life / I'm on the right track baby, I was born to survive," as rainbow lights flashed in the background. Siwa had one of her signature bows in her hair, and this one was rainbow.

She also appeared in a video with Kent Boyd and stars from Disney Channel's Teen Beach Movie, dancing to Paramore's "Ain't It Fun" on TikTok. The video was labeled with the hashtag "#pridehousela." Siwa, all smiles, lip-synched the line "now you're one of us," at one point, which fans noticed.

The former Masked Singer contestant's fans and other folks online began to question what message she was trying to send.

"This feels like a big deal if it is what I think it is," journalist Yashar Ali wrote, sharing the "Born This Way" TikTok. "JoJo Siwa is hugely popular with kids. And as someone just pointed out, if it is what I think it is, she's doing it at the height of her fame when she's selling out arenas."

Despite the excitement among many Siwa stans, one fan noted that despite the speculation, folks should "not label her as anything until she confirms her sexuality."

"the entire tl is just 'JOJO SIWA CAME OUT???' just a reminder to not label her unless she does herself :)," another added. Either way, people online are happy for Siwa.

Newsweek reached out to Jojo Siwa for comment and did not hear back at the time of publication.
