We’re joining the dots
In case you haven’t heard, the moon blocked the sun this week. This doesn’t happen often, so it’s sort of a big deal when it does and scientists will tell you to wear appropriate eyewear because it’s bad for your eyes. Some say it hurts.
Joey Bada$$, however, tweeted that he’d be watching the solar eclipse with no glasses. “I’m pretty sure our ancestors ain’t have no fancy eyewear. Also pretty sure they ain’t all go blind,” he said.
He also justified his decision with, “I’ve sungazed before and afterwards saw colors for a whole day. I didn’t die tho”.
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.

Following the eclipse, the rapper has cancelled the Cleveland, Chicago and Toronto shows on Logic’s Everybody Tour due to “unforeseen circumstances”. Since, fans have been speculating that, perhaps, the incident is linked to the artist staring at the eclipse for too long without glasses.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, my Cleveland, Chicago & Toronto shows on the #EverybodyTour are cancelled.
