Rapper B.o.B. Really Wants You to Believe the Earth is Flat

By  | 

The Earth is most certainly, positively, and unequivocally a sphere, but somehow B.o.B. must have missed the memo. The “Strange Clouds” rapper spent the better part of two days wrapped up in an insane Twitter rant in an attempt to convince his followers–and maybe even himself–that the world is actually flat.

Eventually B.o.B.’s bizarre tweets landed him into a heated argument with a famed astrophysicist that inspired him to write a propaganda-filled “diss track” that also casually features some Holocaust denial. But in order to understand how we even got to this place, let’s start at the beginning.

It all started when the Atlanta rapper posted a picture of himself with a peculiar question attached.

The cities in the background are approx. 16miles apart… where is the curve ? please explain this.

He then proceeded to support his theory with pseudoscientific photo evidence including the following gems:

For the sake of this post and your scrolling fingers, I can’t include all of B.o.B.’s fantastic tweets, but in case you’re curious they can all be found here for your viewing pleasure.

Now, B.o.B. isn’t the first celebrity to publicly endorse this archaic theory, which has in fact been refuted by the entire scientific community. Just a few weeks ago Tila Tequila surfaced from reality dating show obscurity to post hundreds of angry capitalized conspiracy theory tweets, which included her own #FlatEarth theories.

Luckily this time around, science found its savior in famed astrophysicist and cosmologist Neil deGrasse Tyson, who took a few minutes of his day to disprove several of B.o.B.’s supposed facts.

He started off first by challenging B.o.B.’s skyline theory.

Next, he took on B.o.b.’s supposed North Star evidence.

But just because Tyson probably thinks B.o.B. is an idiot now, doesn’t mean he still won’t jam out to his Hayley Williams “Airplanes” collab.

Unfortunately B.o.B. responded to Tyson’s comments the way most rappers respond to people saying things they don’t like–he wrote a “diss track.”

In a song titled “Flatline” (get it, since the Earth is flat now), B.o.B. spends over three minutes explaining the conspiracy to cover up Earth’s “actual” shape. If that wasn’t enough, he even throws in some Holocaust denial for good measure with the lines, “Stalin was way worse than Hitler, That’s why the POTUS gotta wear a Kipper.”

Clearly if B.o.B. keeps this up he’s going to find many more foes than friends willing support his cause. That being said, he still refuses to back down, tweeting, “No I’m not crazy, Yes I’m feeling fine, no I’m not doing anything stronger than weed, am I doing this to promote my music .. No..”. He later added,
