Earlier this week, the solar eclipse had the Internet in a frenzy. While many took precautions and wore glasses to protect their eyes, some decided to live life on the edge.
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.

Joey Bada$$ being one. In a series of tweets, he admits to watching the eclipse with his bare eyes.
However, taking to his Instagram, it seems he did not actually put his eyes in danger.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, my Cleveland, Chicago & Toronto shows on the #EverybodyTour are cancelled.

Just one day later, Joey is back on Twitter to announce he will not be performing at his 3 next scheduled shows, opening for Logic on the #EverybodyTour. Hmmmmm.
