Jojo Siwa is back with yet another ‘copy’ of a rocker.
Siwa recently announced a vest and T-shirt on TikTok that closely resemble Tool’s wrench. Siwa’s version had a few changes: the top head of JoJo’s wrench tilts to the right, ‘JOJO’ replaces ‘TOOL’ on the handle, and the bottom heads of the wrench have a different inner shape.
The merchandise seems to be connected to the launch of Siwa’s new EP, ‘Guilty Pleasure.’ A teaser of the EP’s title track music video hints at a construction theme that ties in with the merch.
Tool Fans Didn’t Like The Similarity
Tool fans quickly noticed the resemblance, and Siwa is now facing criticism online for using a similar design. Fans took to different social media platforms to share their thoughts on it. One user said:
“My wife said she was a child star now she’s just an influencer. Maynard call the lawyers please.”
Another added:
“She’s going to find out the hard way when TOOL’s lawyers find out about this.”
Another mentioned the Gene Simmons incident:
“Don’t forget she also ripped off the KISS makeup. Girl needs to come up with her own ideas and stop copying actual legends.”
Siwa’s KISS Resemblance
In April this year, Siwa released her single ‘Karma.’ In the music video, she wore an outfit and makeup similar to that of Gene Simmons’. As a result, Siwa received backlash with people saying that she was copying the KISS rocker’s persona ‘The Demon.’
Many fans didn’t like her new style, but Gene Simmons himself did.
The bassist saw Siwa’s outfit and said that she looked cool in it:
“Never be ordinary. Always be extraordinary. JoJo is extraordinary, and she looks cool.”
