    JoJo Siwa’s ‘Joelle’ move: TikTok name change hints at a 2026 rebrand

    2026-01-02 09:00:00

    According to PEOPLE, JoJo Siwa updated her TikTok name to “Joelle Siwa,” sparking immediate chatter that a bigger 2026 rebrand is underway.

    Fans read the change as a signal of a more grown-up era, especially for a star whose identity was built on a highly recognizable childhood brand.

    Online reactions range from excitement about a fresh creative chapter to curiosity about whether the new name will carry into music credits and official press.

    • E! News (Outlet): “Her changing her name from jojo to Joelle has to be the biggest pull ever!!!”
    • Page Six (Outlet): “2026 is gonna be crazy!!!”

    Echotitbits take: On TikTok, identity is discovery: a name tweak can be the first breadcrumb before new music, a doc, or a style pivot. Watch next for synchronized handle changes across platforms, updated visuals, and any rollout announcements that confirm whether “Joelle” is a permanent professional shift or a temporary social experiment.

    In an update published by Punch Newspapers, Nollywood actress and producer Allwell Ademola has reportedly died at age 43, with early reports linking her death to a heart attack.

    The report says concerns about her condition circulated before confirmation, and colleagues and fans have since flooded social media with tributes and condolences.

    Also noted by Premium Times (Website): “Nollywood actress and producer, Allwell Ademola, has reportedly died at age 43.” (https://www.premiumtimesng.com/entertainment/nollywood/)

    Separately, The Nation (Website) reported: “Ademola died on Saturday, December 27, 2025, due to a heart attack…” (https://thenationonlineng.net/)

    Echotitbits take: Beyond the personal tragedy, this is another reminder of how quickly health scares can turn fatal—and how Nollywood’s informal “breaking news” pipeline (WhatsApp groups + colleagues’ posts) can outpace formal statements. Watch for an official family update and confirmed funeral details to limit misinformation.
