JoJo Siwa was successfully Punk’d.
Rebranded as Punk You, producer Sophie Watts and entrepreneur Joe White have brought back the beloved MTV prank show with the help of Punk’d co-creator Jason Goldberg, and the “Karma” singer is the latest celebrity victim.
In a 11-minute clip shared over the weekend, the 21-year-old entertainer is sitting in the back of an SUV before her driver gets pulled over by what appears to be the FBI. “Getting pulled over by the secret agents? This is a new one,” Siwa says, before things start to get serious.
While in conversation with an agent, who is actually an actor, Siwa gets told that someone named JoJo Siwa has been committing wire fraud, bank fraud and credit card fraud. The Dance Moms star calls her mother, Jessalynn Siwa, to fill her in but is unaware that she’s also in on the prank. “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 mom. “I’m shook, because like what the f— is happening right now?”
However, things get even worse when the tables get turned on JoJo, with the agents trying to figure out if she’s actually perpetrator committing the identity theft and subsequent crimes. Jessalynn tells JoJo that she’s on the way to help her, and reveals behind the scenes that JoJo is successfully falling for the prank.
“Her code word is ‘Beyoncé, and she texted me ‘Beyoncé,’” Jessalynn explains.
So far, Punk You has done episodes pranking streamers Jynxzi and Stretch, as well as Sexyy Red and NLE Choppa. Watch the full episode featuring JoJo Siwa below.
