All it is just a public relations ploy similar to what Haile Sellasie did
While few reggae aficionados realise the wide gulf between Selassie’s mythological representations in popular culture and the reality of his tyrannical reign, the perception that Selassie was a proud African and a champion for black people is not supported by the facts. He only reluctantly later embraced the Rastafarians because he understood their public relations value for his cult of personality. Some of his dedicated followers would be dismayed to learn that Selassie revered not his “own people” but the Ferenjochu (Europeans) and Americans, who were routinely invited to his lavish parties in his palace.

The reality he never really identified with them as a Black African but rather instead was a white booty licker.
Selassie was an African only when it served a political purpose. The rest of the time, he was fraternizing with white people full time, just like Abiy today. Abiy and Selassie have a lot in common
Those Blacks aka rastas they called in , ended up living in isolation in Ethiopia and became regarded in contempt by them
For Rastafarians, Ethiopia is Zion and the Promised Land and in 1948 Selassie granted them land in the Rift Valley for a settlement in Shashemane. The settlement has never been big, with no more than a thousand Rastas at its peak and now about 400. There was never a mass exodus of Rastas to Ethiopia, and they never assimilated. They live in isolation much like the Amish in the United States.
