Joey Bada$$ took to Twitter on Monday to boast that he stared directly into the sun during Monday’s solar eclipse.

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.

Now, Joey has announced on Twitter that his next three shows – in Cleveland, Chicago, and Toronto – have been canceled “due to unforeseen circumstances.”

Due to unforeseen circumstances, my Cleveland, Chicago & Toronto shows on the #EverybodyTour are cancelled.

Many are putting two and two together and assuming that these “unforeseen circumstances” are likely the result of Joey staring right into the sun, although no official word has been made.
