‘That Chair Almost Took You Out’: Dancehall Singer Shenseea Leaves Viewers Splitting Their Sides After She Tries the ‘Heels Challenge’

Jamaican dancehall singer Shenseea is proving that she can run from any situation in heels. 

On Monday, March 15, the “Bad Alone” singer took to her Instagram account, where she uploaded a hilarious clip that shows her running in a pair of thigh-high red boots. The 24-year-old was taking part in the latest TikTok trend called the “HeelsChallenge.” The game gained attraction when a TikToker by the name of @feliciamonique08 — who wasn’t the original creator of the challenge — shared a clip of herself running through various harsh terrains in high heels.

Now singer Shenseea is showing the world she, too, can do just about anything in some heels. First, she ran with her purse in hand, then she ran and jumped over a chair. The singer later ran while carrying her son Rajeiro Lee, and then she just plainly ran right before snatching up a PlayStation game console. However, for her final trick, the singer ran while “escaping property” before hysterically jumping up on and hugging a tree. 

Shenseea captioned the post, “#HeelsChallenge accepted 😈 @rajeiro__lee got me wobbling to the side!! 🤣i swear he is so HEAVY!!!!! 🪨.” The singer’s post was viewed over 300,000 times within an hour of its posting. 

Friends and fans were left in stitches, including one user who wrote, “Omg!!! The way you jumped on the tree!! I’m done for the day!!!❤️😂❤️.” Another person commented, “The last one I thought you was gone jump over the wall😭😭.” A third said jokingly, “Wull on deh shen is more than just a mommy she a world class tief to😂😂😂😂😂.”

Several fans had their doubts about whether this challenge could be completed, including one person who wrote, “😂😂😂😂 yo I thought you wouldn’t make it over the chair @shenseea.” “THAT CHAIR ALMOST TOOK you OUT girl!!🤣😂😜” said another.

The rising star is not only funny but has already seen her fair share of success since gaining attention for her first single, “Bless,” with Interscope Records. The song’s visual received over two million views in just two days of its release and was widely accepted within her fan base, known as the ShenYengs and others in the industry. 

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
