The Wiggles have issued a statement addressing the controversy surrounding a TikTok video featuring their content and Keli Holiday's solo project.
A clip removed from social media showed Blue Wiggle Anthony Field and his nephew Dominic Field dancing behind Keli Holiday as he promoted his new single "Ecstasy." The song includes lyrics such as “Hey girl, come on, dance with me / You and your pocket full of ecstasy," which prompted criticism that the pairing blurred the line between children's entertainment and adult-coded content.
The group stated they did not support or condone the use of drugs in any form. They clarified that the video was created independently and without their knowledge and that the music added to it was edited in after their TikTok Awards appearance. The Wiggles' spokesperson emphasized that their performance at the awards show was family-friendly and fun, while this video was created separately.
The group reaffirmed their commitment to families, stating they deeply value the confidence placed in them and remain committed to creating safe, positive, and educational experiences for children and families around the world.

i mean who doesnt love kelby's new single tho lol anyway i think its great that they stepped up and clarified their stance on the situation theyre not gonna let some bad apples tarnish their good name im all about supporting artists who create fun music for kids it sounds like Kelby just got a bit carried away with his song 
btw im loving The Wiggles' commitment to creating safe experiences for families its so refreshing to see them stand by what they believe in 
It's crazy that some people thought it was cool to pair kids' entertainment with adult-coded content. I mean, come on, Anthony and Dominic were just dancing along to a song their uncle recorded... it's not like they were promoting anything shady. 
The Wiggles have always been about spreading joy and positivity for families, so I'm glad they're setting the record straight. 
It's also good to see them owning the fact that someone else created this video without their knowledge - no one should be able to claim it as part of their brand! 
... like, chill out fam! The Wiggles did say they didn't support the use of drugs, which is a pretty clear statement 
. And honestly, I don't think it's that deep – it's just a music video with some lyrics that might raise an eyebrow 
. Can't we all just enjoy some fun tunes and dance moves without getting so worked up? It's not like they're promoting anything bad in their actual content 
. I think it's kinda weird that people are so uptight about kids doing dance moves with an artist promoting a song with some mature lyrics 
. But at the same time, The Wiggles do have a responsibility to make sure their content is suitable for little ones 
. They should've maybe been more careful when they added the edited music to the video 
. And honestly, I think most parents just want what's best for their kids, even if it means having a few uncomfortable conversations about what's okay in media 
.
. but on another hand, kelvin holly's a grown adult, he can handle himself... or so we think 
like they had nothin to do w/ that tiktok vid but still they're takin it serious tho 
They're really good at makin sure that their content is suitable for all ages 
And honestly, it's all about keepin it real and admittin when u don't know about somethin 
. But at the same time, I get why they didn't want to be associated with that vid. They've always been about spreading joy and learning for the youngins', not getting entangled in some weird adult stuff 
. It's great to see them reaffirming their commitment to creating safe and positive content – that's what we all want for our little ones! 
It's like, we get it, they didn't even know about the video, but still, gotta own up and set the record straight 
! Still, gotta respect Keli Holiday's artistic expression too... maybe they could've found a way to make it work without the, ahem, "ecstasy" 
#WigglesStandTall #FamilyFriendlyFun #MusicForAllAges
i feel them tho 
but still gotta be careful what's puttin' out there for the kiddos 
... I feel bad for Anthony Field tho 
he's just trying to be cool like his nephew Dominic but i get why people would be upset about that video 
... Keli Holiday is all grown up now lol 
... still glad they're being clear about their values tho 
. Plus, Keli Holiday is an adult making his own music - it's not like the Wiggles created the song or edited it to include those lyrics 
.
I mean, come on... The Wiggles are trying to play dumb here? They're not even denying that they know about the video being made or something 
Maybe we should've known better than to trust a children's show with some shady moves
