A hip-hop artist named Joey Bada$$ has been dubbed "Joey Badeyes" on social media after he bragged that he was going to watch Monday's eclipse without protective eyewear ― and then abruptly canceled three upcoming shows.
It's unclear why the shows were actually canceled, but the coincidence has caught a lot of people's attention.
"Am I crazy for watching the eclipse today [with] no glasses?" Joey Bada$$, whose real name is Jo-Vaughn Virginie Scott, had tweeted on Monday. "I've sungazed before and afterwards saw colors for a whole day. I didn't die tho (sic)."
He went on to argue, "This ain't the first solar eclipse and I'm pretty sure our ancestors ain't have no fancy eyewear. Also pretty sure they ain't all go blind."
