Rapper B.o.B took to Twitter to rant about his belief the Earth is flat, attempting to prove his theory with photos of the horizon. The "Nothin' on You" rapper had astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson weighing in on the subject to educate B.o.B., who refused to hear it.
B.o.B. also claims that people are being cloned.
The hip-hop star tried to explain that we have been conned into believing the world is round in a series of strange Twitter posts, including a video that wound up on YouTube Monday about his thoughts on cloning.

B.o.B. started his flat world discussion on Jan. 24 when he tweeted a photo of himself, where he is shown pointing to the horizon in the distance.

Fans began commenting on his post, but the rapper then went on to claim that everyone has been brainwashed. He then posed his own question to fans on the social networking site.
have u been to the edge ? or is that what your science book told you https://t.co/61qaI5xx5f — B.o.B (@bobatl) January 25, 2016
B.o.B even accused NASA of being "gatekeepers" of the edge of the world, hiding the truth.

He followed that post up with Gleason's map of the world, stating that he did not want to believe the earth was flat either.

The rapper appeared to poke fun at those that argued with his ideas, posting that everyone seems to believe the image was "not high enough" to show the curve.

The rapper then stated that people had been "force fed information".
You can regurgitate force fed information all day... still doesn't change physics. — B.o.B (@bobatl) January 25, 2016
The music artist then adds that there is no actual proof that the earth is truly round.
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

The 27-year-old rapper continued for hours with various theories that led astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson to weigh in on the subject on Twitter.
@bobatl Duude — to be clear: Being five centuries regressed in your reasoning doesn’t mean we all can’t still like your music — Neil deGrasse Tyson (@neiltyson) January 25, 2016
Tyson appeared to give up on reasoning with the rapper, later posting a tweet that appeared to reference B.o.B's remarks.
The Cosmos is knowable. When childhood curiosity persists as an adult, it inoculates against others telling you what to think

B.o.B later tried to reassure fans he was not on serious drugs or crazy.
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... — B.o.B (@bobatl) January 26, 2016
After stating that he was not arguing about the earth being flat to promote his music, he posted a link to his video for the track "Flatline" with Neil Tyson.

B.o.B. also shot off some rather odd tweets back in early December about cloning centers.
Every time you see a celebrity "randomly" loose their mind = cloning center — B.o.B (@bobatl) December 7, 2015
Notice a celebrity who have tattoos or piercings mysteriously vanish ? = cloning center
— B.o.B (@bobatl) December 7, 2015
The latest post from the rapper blasted media outlets for making him appear "crazy," reminding them to check out his posts on cloning.
Since all mass media wants to make me look crazy and drag me through the mud... make sure you mention the cloning centers I talked about — B.o.B (@bobatl) January 26, 2016© 2024 Mstars News, All rights reserved. Do not reproduce without permission.
