JoJo Siwa referenced the alleged online theory about Beyoncé and Jay-Z being Diddy’s accomplices

For the unversed, JoJo Siwa's speech was a joke from an online theory that artists often thank Beyoncé at award shows to avoid being seen as a threat to her. Many theorists have linked this to recent accusations against Diddy involving s*x trafficking and racketeering.

Despite the alleged claims and theories, it has not been proven yet that Beyoncé or Jay-Z have been involved in any of Diddy’s supposed crimes.

Diddy was arrested on September 16, 2024, from a hotel in New York following a grand jury indictment. At the time of arrest, Diddy was charged with s*x trafficking, racketeering and even fraud amongst other crimes.

Since his arrest, the lawyers of the rapper have filed for his bail multiple times, however, the plea was repeatedly rejected by the jury as the prosecution alleged that the rapper was a “flight risk.”

Beyoncé and her husband have neither spoken up about JoJo thanking her in the speech nor have they addressed Diddy’s arrest.
