Taking to her Twitter last night (Sep 14), JoJo tweeted: "I go out on tour in January. My movie musical was just released (with 6 new original songs)… Nickelodeon told me today that I’m not allowed to perform/add any of the songs from the film into my show. These are MY songs, MY voice, MY writing. Does this seem fair???"

She then added: "There is no reason that this music should not be included. Working for a company as a real human being treated as only a brand is fun until it’s not." JoJo also shared screenshots of the tweets to her Instagram page and the hashtag #IStandWithJoJo bean trending online.

As it stands, Nickelodeon are yet to respond to JoJo's claims or explain why they don't want her to perform her new material. We shall keep you posted with any updates.
