New York, August 24
Hip hop star Joey Bada$$ was forced to cancel his three shows after staring at the sun during the solar eclipse in America without wearing special protective glasses.
The rapper before viewing the eclipse had said: “Am I crazy for watching the eclipse today w no glasses? 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.”
