Online controversy surrounding a video of Joe Jonas has sparked a wave of drug accusations against the singer of the Jonas Brothers. Social media users speculated after the 36-year-old performer, who is currently on tour with his brothers, was spotted off-stage wiping his nose with a black cloth before going back on stage.
As soon as the video went viral, some users accused Jonas of using drugs. Others defended the singer, saying the allegations were overblown. As the debate spread, Jonas stepped in himself to deny the allegations, using humor instead of a formal statement.
Responding directly in the comments section of the original TikTok video, Joe wrote: “Lol, you never had a booger?” His remark was widely shared, and shortly after, the account that first posted the video went private.
Fans then added to the viral moment by resurfacing a clip of Jonas’ ex-wife Sophie Turner from her 2022 film Do Revenge, where she shouts about drugs not being hers. The scene quickly became a trending meme, with users joking that Jonas should use it to address the controversy.
Focus on the Tour
Joe is currently on the road with Nick and Kevin for the JONAS20: Greetings From Your Hometown Tour, marking the band’s 20th anniversary. The tour began on August 10 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey and will conclude on November 14 in Uncasville, Connecticut.
The brothers are set to perform 53 shows across the United States, featuring a setlist that includes fan favorites like Sucker, Lovebug, What a Man Gotta Do, and When You Look Me in the Eyes. Their next performance is scheduled for September 13 in West Valley City, Utah.
Despite the speculation online, Joe appears to be focusing on the music and keeping the tone light. His quick response has already turned the controversy into a viral internet moment.
