Rapper B.o.B’s Social Media Is Full of ‘Earth-Is-Flat’ Trutherism and It’s Hysterical
Atlanta’s own B.o.B is undoubtedly one of the most decorated and talented names in all of hip-hop today. In addition to countless albums, top ten songs and highly-respected mixtapes, B.o.B also boasts an impressive 2.29 million followers on Twitter — and boy does he share a lot with them.
In what can only be described as the newest “truther” movement that would make Donald J. Trump proud, B.o.B seems to be on a quest to prove that the Earth is flat, and his evidence seems mostly based on the fact that when he looks out the window — and photographs it for his Twitter page — he can never see the curve of the Earth.
The cities in the background are approx. 16miles apart… where is the curve ? please explain this pic.twitter.com/YCJVBdOWX7

His social media pages have become a weird spiraling hodgepodge, equal parts rapper’s ambition and concert performances with lessons in geography and the light-bending rules of physics. Let’s take a look at some more, because again — all of this is real:

I’ve got to admit I’ve long been a fan of B.o.B’s; he even once did a song with Morgan Freeman on his Every Play Is Crucial album, which makes me wonder why Freeman would not have just informed the confused superstar about the way that, you know, science works. I have to imagine that Morgan Freeman of all people understands that the Earth is round — he did, after all, create it.
And finally, we leave you with B.o.B’s message to all the haters out there:
if my tweets are rattling the tiny little cages of your reality … the unfollow button is right there
