Rapper B.o.B spent most of the weekend trying to convince his followers the Earth is flat. In a series of tweets which included photos for evidence he wrote, “A lot of people are turned off by the phrase ‘flat earth,’” adding, “But there’s no way [you] can see all the evidence and not know… grow up. You can regurgitate force fed information all day… still doesn’t change physics.”
Respected astrophysicist and author Neil DeGrasse Tyson, tired to steer B.o.B in the right direction with a few facts on Monday. However, B.o.B. was still not convinced and clearly pissed off by the scientists attempt to correct him because Tuesday he dropped a diss track titled “Flatline.” Read more below.
Tyson explained to the rapper, “Earth’s curve indeed blocks 150 (not 170) feet of Manhattan. But most buildings in midtown are way taller than that.” He continued, “Polaris is gone by 1.5 degrees south latitude. You’ve never been south of Earth’s equator, or if so, you’ve never looked up.”
Science didn’t mean anything to B.o.B. and he proceeded to drop the diss record. In the track, B.o.B. takes direct shots at anyone daring to challenge his thinking including;
Neil DeGrasse Tyson, NASA and the Masons.
