JoJo Siwa has a message for all of her haters because she is well and truly over it.
The 20-year-old recently shocked fans when she revealed that she would be making a transition to a whole new genre of music which would be accompanied by an entirely new aesthetic too.
In a new interview with Good Morning America, the star boldly claimed that she would never be "a Celine Dion" or "a Mariah Carey."
"The new music video is very grown up,” the interviewer began.
To this, Siwa responded: “No! You think so? I think it’s young.
“I told everybody on my team, ‘Look, there’s a line, and we have to go past it.’ My goal with this was - I didn’t care if people liked it, I didn’t care if people hated it – I wanted people to turn their head at it, and I wanted people to talk about it.”
She continued: “I am an entertainer, I am an artist. I’m not a Celine Dion, I’m not a Mariah Carey - I never will have those vocal chords, ever, considering I only have one in here."
She then directed a message to the people, stating that she didn't care what their opinion on the song was.
“Whether people like ‘Karma’ or don’t like ‘Karma’, they sing it, they dance, they know it, and it’s in their heads. At the end of the day, it worked,” the star added.
Have a look at the clip below:Speaking of her new song, 'Karma', she told Billboard that she was heavily influenced by other stars.
"It’s no secret that my transition is heavily inspired by Miley Cyrus, of course," she said.
Siwa referenced Cyrus's divisive Bangerz era when she made headlines for chopping off her hair, going bleach blonde, and her risqué 2013 Video Music Awards performance with Robin Thicke.
"Like it or not, everyone knows that moment and I think that that made such an impact," Siwa continued. "I think every child star has made their impact in some which way becoming an adult star. But Miley’s flip, Miley’s switch, Miley’s turn was the greatest thing I’ve witnessed with my own two eyes."
But the release of her updated music career hasn't come without controversy as an earlier version of the track was uncovered.
Brit Smith recorded her own version of 'Karma' back in 2012, though it did not garner much attention at the time.
Addressing the controversy herself, Siwa said: "What happens is, people write songs and then they just don’t do anything with them. And then, a few years later, it makes more sense for another artist.
"I didn’t steal anything. There's no such thing as stealing," she continued, before taking a little low blow: "I also don't know who Brit Smith is."
Play nice, JoJo!
But it seems as though the star is continuing to live her best life as JoJo 2.0, and has even taken the internet by storm with the dance routine that goes with 'Karma' - but that's a story for another day.
'Karma' is available to stream across all major music platforms.
