Now, after several years of collaboration with the popular children’s programming channel, Siwa is speaking out against them in a statement made on Twitter.
“I go out on tour in January. My movie musical was just released (with 6 new original songs)…” she wrote. “Nickelodeon told me today that I’m not allowed to perform/add any of the songs from the film into my show.”

The star added: “These are MY songs, MY voice, MY writing. Does this seem fair???”
Earlier this month, she starred in another Nickelodeon-produced television movie, “The J Team,” which premiered on genres on Sept. 3. The fictional story follows JoJo as she rebounds after being kicked out of her dance troupe.
As she said in her tweet, “The J Team” features several original songs including the popular “music” target=”_blank”>Dance Through the Day<
“There is no reason that this music should not be included,” she said in a follow-up tweet. “Working for a company as a real human being treated as only a brand is fun until it’s not.”
Reps for Nickelodeon did not immediately respond to Fox News’ request for comment.
