JoJo Siwa recently became the target of a prank involving staged FBI agents, leaving her "shooken" by the experience. The elaborate stunt, part of the new digital prank show Punk You, created by the same team behind Punk'd, caught the 21-year-old pop star completely off-guard. In a clip from the show, JoJo's driver was pulled over by an SUV disguised as an FBI vehicle, and she was led to believe she was being investigated for wire, bank, and credit card fraud.
Initially, JoJo took the situation lightly, even joking, "Getting pulled over by the secret agents? This is a new one." However, the tension quickly escalated, and she began to feel uneasy, asking her driver if the doors were locked. The episode, set to air on Punk You's YouTube channel on October 19, follows JoJo as she calls her mother, Jessalynn Siwa, to inform her of the supposed crisis. "I got pulled over by the FBI," she explained. "They brought us up to the rooftop of a parking structure, and apparently somebody is stealing my identity."
"I'm shooken, because, like, what the f--k is happening right now?" JoJo added. She had no idea that her mother was in on the prank from the beginning. During the call, Jessalynn reassured her daughter and subtly hinted to the audience that JoJo had no idea it was a setup. "Her code word is 'Beyoncé,' and she texted me 'Beyoncé,'" Jessalynn revealed, confirming that JoJo was fully convinced by the act.
The new show, Punk You, is designed to fool celebrities in elaborate ways, and JoJo was just one of its many targets. The show is also set to prank other stars like Sexyy Red, NLE Choppa, and DDG in future episodes. Despite the temporary panic, JoJo, who recently shared plans for a lavish birthday trip to Hawaii with her girlfriend, seems to have taken it all in stride.
"We're about to take her on the best birthday extravaganza," JoJo said in an interview with E! News, adding, "It's about the person, it's about the time and the experience, not the money."
