Singer JoJo Siwa took to Instagram and TikTok to address the controversy surrounding the ‘JoJo Juice’ board game. The game, which is targeted towards children ages 6 and up, features inappropriate questions.
“Over the weekend, it has been brought to my attention by my fans and followers on TikTok that my name and image have been used to promote this board game that has some really inappropriate content,” JoJo said in a video. “Now, when companies make these games, they don’t run every aspect by me, so I had no idea of the types of questions that were on these playing cards.”

“Have you ever walked in on someone naked or had someone walk in on you?” “Have you ever been arrested?” and “Have you ever stolen from a store?” are some of the questions on the playing cards.
“When I first saw this, I was really, really, really upset at how gross these questions were, and so I brought it to Nickelodeon’s attention immediately,” JoJo said. “And since then, they have been working to get this game stopped being made and also pulled from all shelves wherever it’s being sold.”
The creators of the game, Nickelodeon and Spin Master, released a statement to Insider.
“We respect and value the relationship JoJo Siwa has with her fans and take the concerns raised regarding the game ‘JoJo’s Juice’ very seriously.” the statement said, “This game is no longer being manufactured, and we have requested that retailers pull any remaining product from their shelves.”
“I hope you all know that I would’ve never ever ever approved or agreed to be associated with this game if I would’ve seen these cards before they started selling,” JoJo said.
