A woman’s explanation for why she never shaves her armpit hair has gone viral, with people branding her a ‘hero’ for deciding to stop shaving.

In the video, which has racked up 4.7million views, she said that she hasn’t shaved in three years and she wants to make a video to send to every single person that talks about her grooming habits.

She added that we are ‘literally on a floating rock’ so ‘nothing matters’ and people should be able to ‘do whatever the hell they want that makes them happy’.
‘Allow me to show you the demonstration of what I have drawn this morning,’ she explained.
‘This is us. We are on a floating rock, OK?! This is us on a floatin’ rock, and we literally just go like this with all the other floatin’ rocks all year round.
‘And I live in the South, and it’s a very interesting place. It’s a place where people don’t always have their teeth, but they really value razors apparently,’ she went on.

Jada explained that if she travels into the city, no one will look at her, but if she heads into ‘cowboy county’ or the ‘Dollar General Store’ then people are shocked by her appearance.
‘I lift up my arm to pay, it’s like the whole place is like, “Oh my god!'”
‘And y’all don’t even have teeth. Why are you worried about using a razor? No offense – if you don’t have teeth, that’s OK. But you shouldn’t be crappy about somebody’s armpit hair.’
She also explained that she ‘doesn’t want to shave a part of her body that bends’ because ‘hair is going to grow back three hours later and scratch’ with her likening it to ‘creating sandpaper’.

‘If you wanna shave your armpits, I don’t give a crap,’ she went on.
‘But I don’t wanna shave mine. I shaved mine for like 10 years straight. Every single day, and it just don’t matter.
‘We’re on a floatin’ rock. So, floating rock, nothing matters, do what you want. Have your armpit hair — I don’t care.’
The singer also said the key to being happy is ‘to do whatever the heck you ant’ and ‘not let anyone get in your way’.
She quickly racked up support from fans, with one writing: ‘ This is my president!’.
Another said: ‘Floating rock=nothing matters I’m using this for everything in my life now thank you’.
‘Sis needs to be protected at all costs,’ commented a third.

A fourth penned: ‘I sweat SO MUCH LESS when I have armpit hair than when I shave’
Another added: ‘Gorgeous gorgeous girls have armpit hair’.
Speaking to BuzzFeed, Jada said that she stopped shaving in 2019 after growing up in singing and dancing competitions which meant she always had to be clean shaven.
‘I was supposed to be stage ready at all times. During this time, I was really trying to get to know myself and figure out what I enjoyed. But, without everyone else’s opinion weighing me down, I began to feel free,’ she explained.
She added that she made the TikTok out of ‘the pure desire to let all my feelings out’ and wanted to ‘make a joke’ out of all the people sending her ill will.
