America’s Got Talent girl group XOMG POP is down to six members after 13-year-old Kiya Barczyszyn unexpected left the group. JoJo Siwa, who created the group with her mom Jessalynn, hasn’t commented on the reasons behind Kiya’s departure.
Kiya Leaves XOMG POP, Unfollows Group Members
TikTok user @codedebyt has posted several videos about the drama over the past few days, pointing out that Kiya changed her Instagram profile picture as well as her bio. Although she initially deleted any mention of XOMG POP, her bio now reads that she was a former member.
Kiya also apparently unfollowed every member of the group except for Dallas Skye, and she also unfollowed both JoJo and Jessalynn Siwa. Her mom is apparently selling Kiya’s costumes. Meanwhile, the group has been posting TikToks without Kiya and hasn’t mentioned her departure.
Recent posts on Kiya’s Instagram seem to hint at the drama, as she’s posted photos set to the songs “Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You)” by Kelly Clarkson and “Never Give Up” by Sia. In her most recent Instagram post, she tells fans, “Stay tuned…”

Did Kiya Leave Because of a Solo Opportunity?
TikTok user @codedebyt suggested in a video that Kiya’s departure from the group could be related to a recent video she made with choreographer Guy Groove. She appears in the video without her fellow XOMG group members.
However, commenters pointed out that other members of the group have done solo videos with Guy Groove, and he’s apparently friendly with the Siwas. So that might not be the reason, although the timing of the new video was certainly strange.
Kiya was the first member added to the group, which was formed on the reality show Siwas Dance Pop Revolution. She and the rest of the group recently competed on America’s Got Talent, although they didn’t earn enough votes to make it to the Finals.
I hate that Kiya is no longer part of XOMGPOP. She is the first member I think of when I think of the group. I hope she is mentally doing ok. I don’t know why she left. People speculate, but who really knows. Kiya, being gone is definitely detrimental to the group. Her light and talent was amazing. I hope this situation can be fixed, because I know Kiya is heart broken. Kiya I wish you the best. You are an amazing, young talented lady and the future awaits you. Don’t let anger or hurt stop you from achieving your… Read more »
I wonder why she and her mother were fired. I mean xomg pop lost a good friend 😭
She did not quit. She and her mother were fired. The drama was their making. XOMG Pop has shed its most toxic elements. They’re going to try and spin this in their social media and Team Siwa can’t tell the truth about them because former employers can’t bad mouth you, even when you deserve it.
Has Kiya left XOMGPOP FOR GOOD?!
God damn I can’t believe that!!!!!
Which one is Kiya?
They were fired. She did not leave.
