Dearly beloved…

6. When he wore shades to cover up his third eye.

7. His passport. HIS PASSPORT.

9. All these moments he unapologetically shaded everyone who deserved it.

10. When he rode a unicorn. Naked. Because he’s magical, too.

11. The fact he can take your girl wearing this. And there’s nothing you can do about it.

12. When he was breaking gender roles before breaking gender roles was cool

14. When he protested unfair treatment from his label (they only paid him 12% for his albums) and wrote slave on his face in protest.

15. Literally all the time. All the time. He was all the time the most magical, boldest blackest man on Earth and we loved him for it every single day.
