"I did not steal anything," started off the 20-year-old former 'Dance Moms' star.
She went on to elaborate on the circumstances that led to her releasing 'Karma' and why she understands why some people might be led to assume she 'stole it'.
"There's no such thing as stealing. What happens is people write songs, and then, they don't do anything with them. Then, a few years later, it makes sense for another artist," Jojo asserted.

."I was pitched it, I loved it, was obsessed with it, so I grasped onto it. That's a very normal thing.
I knew that it was a special song, I knew that it fit. I knew that it was exactly the vision that I wanted to create for the world. 'Karma' makes you listen, 'Karma' makes you ask, 'Karma' makes you confused. So, whether people like it or not, the marketing plan worked," she added. unapologetically.
