Rastafarians believe he is Yahweh/Jesus.
He eventually flew to Jamaica and was disgusted by their practices.

He wasn´t disgusted. He sent them an orthodox bishop to correct their ways. While he didn´t like to be worshipped as God, he could see that jamaicans were sincere in his admiration of ethiopian civilization. He even gave them some farming land in Ethiopia.

People jerk off over his wartime deeds but always ignore the stupid shit he did after WW2 as well as feeding into "muh super speshul African nation" bullshit by painting him as some sinless martyr.

That's a big lion.
Well-meaning but rather inept. The last king In a millenium-old dynasty getting smothered to death with a pillow was pretty sad.
