Flat out wrong
This rapper believes the earth is flat
Um….
YOU MAY OR may not remember the rapper B.o.B.
He did songs with Bruno Mars, Paramore’s Hayley Williams and Weezer’s Rivers Cuomo a few years ago.
His Adventures of Bobby Ray album sold moderately well, but he hasn’t really had a hit since.
Yesterday, however, he revealed what’s occupying his brain space these days. Namely that the earth is flat and any argument to the contrary is a Freemason conspiracy.
Yesterday and today, he has launched into a tirade against Nasa, science and Christopher Columbus.
