I for sure don’t know if Jay Z is actually a time traveler, but I can explain this photo that has resurfaced on the internet, which is claimed to be from The Simpsons.
Did Jay Z know he would keep dreads in the future when he was still a kid? Did he predict his older self using the Simpsons’ character? Or how can you explain this Simpson-like photo of an adult look-alike of Jay Z in dreads, exactly the same design as what he has now, wearing a suit?
Well, before you conclude that The Simpsons got it right again, or that Jay Z accurately predicted himself and hence, is a time traveller, know that the photo was a cartoon of Jean-Michel Basquiat when he appeared on The New York Times Magazine cover, and artist Jay Z liked Basquiat when he was young.
Truth is, both of them looked alike and kept the same hairstyle. So, instead of arguing on the side of predictions, you know anything without “official evidence” is labeled as false, it could be a case of liking somebody to the extent that you start looking like that person. Ironically, The Simpsons in their cartoon series have predicted tens of events that somewhat came to reality, excluding the house cat virus.
Don’t forget to not always believe everything you see with your eyes.
