For the record, B.o.B is promoting a new album, so I guess things one does for promotion, eh?
Bobby Ray Simmons Jnr, who is more commonly known as the rapper B.o.B, has a bee in his bonnet which refuses to go away- the rapper is convinced that the earth is flat and that NASA and all the scientists in the world, and throughout history, are conspiring to hide it from us.
The rapper posted several tweets outlining his supposed ‘theory’, and even released a song defending his position when famous astro-physicist Neil Degraase Tyson took him on to explain ‘the truth’ to him.
Moral of the story- there isn’t anything people wouldn’t do for a little publicity, as I’m sure Wisa can relate.
Read some of the tweets on this bizarre occurrence below…

Once you go flat, you never go back

@bobatl Polaris is gone by 1.5 deg S. Latitude. You’ve never been south of Earth’s Equator, or if so, you’ve never looked up.

@bobatl Duude — to be clear: Being five centuries regressed in your reasoning doesn’t mean we all can’t still like your music
