He’s “Only Human.”
Joe Jonas is addressing critics after a video of himself taking a moment to clear out his nose mid-concert went viral over the weekend.
While performing with the Jonas Brothers in Los Angeles Saturday night, the “Cake By The Ocean” singer was spotted offstage, looking at his reflection and clearing out his nostrils. An eagle-eyed fan in the crowd captured it all on camera and later posted the clip to TikTok.
Fans poked fun at Joe Jonas after he was caught clearing out his nose during a Jonas Brothers concert in Los Angeles over the weekend.
A fan in the crowd captured a clip of the moment and later posted it to TikTok.
Per several versions of the video shared online, Jonas, 36, could be seen using his finger to pick at his snout and using a towel as a tissue.
“Lol you never had a booger?” Jonas wrote in a since-deleted comment on TikTok, explaining the reason behind his viral backstage moment.
Internet users immediately flocked to social media to poke fun at Jonas’ sniffer snafu.
“Quick reminder this is the angle we get of joe at concerts, king for making sure his nose is clean,” one fan wrote on X, alongside a video of the pop star from an angle where you could clearly see up his nose.
“Yes Joe Jonas has boogers and poops his pants leave the man alone he’s only human!!” another added, referring to how Jonas admitted in 2023 that he once soiled himself mid-concert.
A third internet user shared a screengrab of “The Simpsons” character Ralph Wiggum blowing a snot bubble with the caption: “Joe Jonas next time he’s got a booger bothering him on stage so nobody says dumb stuff again.”
“Imagine him being late for his cue and him explaining to Nick that he had a booger,” another TikTok user wrote, referring to Joe’s brother and bandmate Nick Jonas.
“Even him picking a booger is hot,” someone else gushed, with another joking that the singer was “searching for gold.”
At one point, he used a towel as a tissue.

Some internet users shared unfounded theories, arguing that he was allegedly wiping his nose after doing drugs.
Other fans thought it was funny that he was caught checking for boogers.
“Usually right away, I’ll kill a rumor,” Jonas told ABC News at the time. “But because we were kind of figuring out what was going on with us as brothers first, we kept kind of mum about the whole drug thing.”
He added, “Never had a problem with drugs and never done drugs. I’m good. … Happy and healthy.”
That same year, however, he admitted to smoking weed with fellow former Disney stars Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato in a Vulture essay.
