\u201cOne is that I don\u2019t like to shave my armpits. People think it\u2019s like Samson in the Bible, that my power is in my hair. Some even say it\u2019s voodoo, that my power is in my armpits.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t even know how to explain it. It\u2019s just some dumb sh*t. I even tried to find out if that\u2019s possible.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
