Is the earth flat? Someone thinks so!

Is the earth flat? Someone thinks so! Aristotle told us a very long time ago that the earth is spherical. And many scientists have backed the ancient Greek philosopher’s assertion. But someone is dissenting. And he is rapper and not a scientist. Bobby Ray Simmons, also known as B.o.B, is one rap act with massive crossover talents. But is science his forte?

The rapper took to twitter today to insist that the earth as we know is not spherical but flat. Flat like the top of your table. The man behind monster hits such as “Nothin’ on You” and “Airplanes” said if the earth is truly round, then cities far apart should not be visible to each other.

— B.o.B (@bobatl) January 25, 2016 Nope. B.o.B was not intoxicated when he tweeted his scientific postulations. He was in control of his emotions, and he thought if you do not believe him, that is probably because you have fallen prey to deceptions. He also said his tweets were not publicity stunts. But he has our attention, anyway. I’m going up against the greatest liars in history … you’ve been tremendously deceived

— B.o.B (@bobatl) January 26, 2016 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 And to finally drive home his points, B.o.B dropped a new song aptly titled “Flatline”. How I wish Aristotle is alive to drop his own rap bars to counter Bobby Ray.

Caveat: your discretion is advised as B.o.B let loose some real expletives on this one. If his dabbling into this scientific debate riles you, B.o.B has an advice for you. Click the ‘Unfollow’ button. if my tweets are rattling the tiny little cages of your reality … the unfollow button is right there
