JoJo Siwa Kicks Fans Out of Concert Over Hoodie
According to the New York Post, two fans at Siwa’s recent Glasgow tour stop were sporting an image of Siwa photoshopped to look like an egg on their clothes. A TikTok video from the concert shows Siwa holding a hoodie with the image on stage.
“Want to see what happens when you do something like this?” Siwa said, before pointing to the fans in question and asking security, “Can you get them out of here? You’re not gonna come to my concert and bring a hoodie making fun of me. No way!”
One of the fans, named Anjali, later spoke out in her own TikTok video, explaining that she and her friend didn’t have any JoJo Siwa merchandise to wear to her concert, so they decided to print out pictures and stick them to their clothes.
Anjali said they looked up “funny JoJo Siwa picture” and chose the first image they saw. At the concert, when Siwa asked what fans were wearing, they thought the image would make her laugh, so they held up the hoodie. They weren’t expecting Siwa to be offended by it.

@friendly_musician hi! I'm one of the people that was kicked out at jojos concert on Wednesday in Glasgow jojo siwa getting kicked out in Glasgow apology and explanation me and my best friend were really looking forward to seeing JoJo originally as a joke but then she started really growing on us and i was genuinely really looking forward to seeing her since she seems pretty cool!! we didn't have any merch so we decided to just print off the first picture we saw and stick it on our clothes, we didn't look at the back story behind it or know it would be a trigger for her, else we absolutely would not have done that. none of it was with malicious intent. we didn't throw it at her we passed it to her like she asked. this apology is completely genuine, if it doesn't seem like it is I'm autistic and I usually seem really bored or laughing when trying to do something important. #jojosiwa #jojosiwakickedout #banned #sorry #apology @JoJo Siwa @Jessalynn Siwa @Chris Hughes @Jayden Siwa ♬ original sound – anjali<3
Was Siwa Overreacting?
In her video, Anjali clarified that she and her friend did not throw the hoodie at Siwa, but rather “handed it over through security.” After being kicked out, she said she was “about to have a panic attack, because I’ve never been kicked out of a concert before.”
Anjali wrote on her video that she was “so so sorry” for offending Siwa, adding in the caption that she didn’t “know it would be a trigger for her” to wear that image. She emphasized that “this apology is completely genuine.”
In response to the incident, many fans have expressed their belief that Siwa overreacted in having the fans kicked out, with some pointing out that Siwa has apparently posted the same image on her social media in the past. Another commenter on TikTok called it “overreaction final boss.”
