B.o.B Thinks The Earth Is Flat

The rapper’s argument that the Earth is flat started with a tweet that shows him posing on a icy landscape with the caption, “The cities in the background are approx. 16miles apart… where is the curve ? please explain this.” He later tweeted about people slamming his statement, saying, “A lot of people are turned off by the phrase “flat earth” … but there’s no way u can see all the evidence and not know… grow up.” A series of tweets followed with pictures and textbook-like explanations of his position.

The Atlanta rapper is best known for his 2010 debut album B.o.B Presents: The Adventures of Bobby Ray, which premiered the singles “Nothin’ On You,” “Airplanes” and “Magic.” His fourth and latest album, Psycadelik Thoughtz, came out in August of 2015.
