Joey Bada$$ is touring his new album All Amerikkkan Bada$$ in the States but he's had to cancel a string of shows and it might be because he was staring into the sun during Monday's solar eclipse.
The rapper was kinda bragging on twitter that he was gazing into the phenomenon without protective eyewear. Ya know, the one thing news outlets and scientists were saying is exactly what you should NOT do.

Now, history has taught us that "unforeseen circumstances" is music industry parlance for literally anything so it's possible there's other reasons at work. But plenty of folks are already putting two and two together and dragging him as #JoeyBlinda$$ and #JoeyBadeyes. Plus, "unforeseen" is probably not the best choice of words.
Rest up, Joey. We know a good optometrist if you need.

you know how, in pre-history, total eclipses were considered bad omens and people feared them? perhaps it was because people mysteriously went blind after them

"Unforeseen"
That's puntastic.
