She added that we are “literally on a floating rock” so “nothing matters” and people should be able to “do whatever they want to make them happy”.

“Let me show you a demonstration of what I drew this morning,” she explained.

‘It’s us. We’re on a floating rock, okay?! This is us on a floating rock and we literally float like that with all the other floating rocks 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 teeth, but apparently they really value razors,” she continued.

Jada explained that when she goes into town, no one will look at her, but when she heads to the “cowboy district” or the Dollar General Store, people will be shocked by her appearance.

“I put my hand up to pay, it’s like, ‘Oh my God!'”

– And you don’t even have teeth. Why bother using a razor? No offense – if you don’t have teeth, that’s fine. But you shouldn’t be offended by someone’s hairy armpits.’

She also explained that she “doesn’t want to shave the part of her body that bends” because “the hair will grow back in three hours and scratch,” and compares it to “creating sandpaper.”

“If you want to shave your armpits, I don’t care,” she continued.

“But I don’t want to shave. I shaved mine for about 10 years straight. Every day and it just doesn’t matter.

“We’re on a floating rock.” So, floating rock, it doesn’t matter, do what you want. I don’t care about armpit hair.”

The singer also said that the key to happiness is “doing whatever you want” and “not bothering anyone”.

She quickly won the support of fans, writing: “This is my president!”.

Another said: “Floating stone=nothing matters, now I use it for everything in my life, thanks.”

“Sis must be protected at all costs,” commented a third.

A fourth wrote: “I sweat MUCH LESS when I have armpit hair than when I shave.”

Another added: “Gorgeous gorgeous girls have armpit hair.”

Talking to BuzzFeedJada said she stopped shaving in 2019 after growing up on singing and dancing competitions, which meant she always had to be clean-shaven.

“I had to be ready for the scene all the time. During this time I was really trying to get to know myself and figure out what I liked. But without someone else’s opinion weighing me down, I began to feel free,” she explained.

She added that she created TikTok out of a “pure desire to express all my feelings” and wanted to “make fun” of all the people who send her bad vibes.
