Joe Jonas shuts down speculation after backstage video goes viral

A backstage moment featuring Joe Jonas at a recent Jonas Brothers concert quickly went viral—and reignited speculation among fans.

In the clip, captured by an eagle-eyed attendee during a Los Angeles show on the band’s Jonas20: Greetings from Your Hometown Tour, Jonas appears to briefly clear his nose offstage before heading back onstage.

The brief scene, showing him using a towel like a tissue, prompted a flurry of jokes and memes online. Some fans took it in stride, poking fun at the candid nature of the moment, while others read more into it, with a few suggesting it hinted at drug use.

Jonas responded directly on TikTok with a now-deleted cheeky reply: “Lol you never had a booger?” The lighthearted comeback underscored that the incident was nothing more than a normal human moment.

Across his platforms, he also expressed firm denial of any rumors suggesting substance use, reaffirming his commitment to a clean lifestyle, something he has addressed in past interviews.

The Jonas Brothers are currently on the road for a tour marking 20 years of making music together. The celebrations kicked off in early August and continue in select cities, including their next performance in Utah on September 13.
