Boomerang songstress JoJo said she now wants to identify as queer, yet Hannah Montana star Miley, 33, appeared to throw shade on her at a recent World Pride event.

"Enjoy coming out of the closet if this Pride is the time for you.
"It shouldn't be a month - it should be a year; it should be infinite."
The Party In The USA songstress then dealt her jibe and added: "I'm going back inside to get more pretzels and find JoJo Siwa and bring her back out."
Yet now she has called out the "bad joke" by her pop idol as she shared images of her Miley Cyrus-themed fifth birthday party to her Instagram page.

"I wasn't sure how I felt about things for a couple of days… but I've started to come to some thoughts…. I don't believe what Miley said at world pride was ill intended, honestly I think it was meant to be a joke, but just not very good one haha.
"Not what the world, or myself needs to hear anyday of the week."
She then told how she had tackled the issue head-on and added: "I messaged Miley light heartedly about it and she replied and said 'All love. Always.'
"Honestly the most beautiful thing I've learned in the last five years is that love is a gorgeous rainbow. Don't question yourself, don't second guess yourself, just love. Love love love love love.
JoJo Siwa and Kath Ebbs' relationship
We look back at JoJo Siwa's romance with Kath Ebbs:
JoJo Siwa went public with hers and Kath Ebbs' relationship in January 2025.
The Dance Moms star had been introduced to 27-year-old Australian content creator Kath by a mutual friend called G-Flip six months earlier.
JoJo had split with her girlfriend Dakayla Wilson in November 2024 and it is believed she hooked up romantically with Kath soon after.
Speaking in March at the 36th Annual GLAAD Media Awards, JoJo said of her relationship: 'I am so happy. I am in a very mature relationship, and it's beautiful. It's taught me so much about life.
'It's taught me so much about love and respect, and it's a beautiful thing.
'It's different in more ways than I can count. I wouldn't even know what to say the biggest is 'cause just everything is so different and special.'
Kath even claimed they had talked about marriage together.
However, JoJo's romance with Kath abruptly hit the skids on April 25, 2025, at the Celebrity Big Brother wrap party.
JoJo dumped Kath at the bash after spending 19 days in the CBB house - where she had grown close to Love Island star Chris Hughes.
"People judge no matter what, and it can be very hard, especially when it comes from someone you love, and look up to… but if you feel happy and content with yourself, that's most important.
"You get one life… hold onto it, make it yours, find your happy, and love."
OPENING UP
JoJo's sexuality confession came to light in the CBB house earlier this year, where she said she realised she was no longer a lesbian.
During a private chat in the bedroom, she confessed: "I feel so queer," as co-star Danny Beard then responded: "I'm queer!"
In a new interview following her reality TV stint, she told how the phrase queer "encompasses how I am, and who I am".
She added: "I do live this very, very big public life that has so many eyeballs on it, and it can get really hard to navigate.
"But I'm also living a human life. You can't help who you love."
The term queer is defined by LGBTQ charity Stonewall as "a term used by those wanting to reject specific labels of sexual orientation and/or gender identity".
JoJo's sexuality was already a subject of conversation on CBB when American actor
REAL DEAL
Meanwhile, amid the background noise, JoJo and Chris' partnership is going from strength to strength.
The Bulletproof singer recently opened up on the "genuine" nature of their bond.
She said: "People can see our chemistry, and they got to see it develop.
"I think everyone's just curious, and I can't blame them."
Clarifying the pair's exact relationship status she told
She added: "I won't ever speak for him, but for me personally, the happiness in my life just radiates off of me right now.
"Literally yesterday, I was massaging my cheeks; I've never been in pain from smiling so much."
