The Jadakiss Hair subject has been a topic of discussion in recent years with the MC deciding to finally let his hair grow. While Jadakiss keeps his hair relatively low which appears to be no longer than 1.5 in length the fact that he can achieve this still baffles the masses as the misconception around Jadakiss hair is that he’s bald.
We will take a detailed look at his hair over the years while clearing up these misconceptions.
Why do People think Jada is Bald?
The misconception around Jadakiss’s Hair exists due to keeping the consistent bald look throughout the majority of his career.
Jadakiss is from the Hip Hop group LOX with members including Styles P & Sheek Louch. Together the 3 grew up in Yonkers New York and entered the rap game in the 90s.
During the 90s other Hip Hop groups such as onyx who were at the forefront of Hip Hop at the time, alongside DMX and common rock the bald look with confidence.
With that being said, Jadakiss was never bald due to hair loss but rather to keep a uniform look with his rap group LOX he made a conscious decision to shave his hair off and keep it this way through his career.
