B.o.B. apparently can’t be convinced by anyone that the world is in fact round!
In case you missed it on Sunday/Monday, the rapper went on a strange Twitter rant stating that Earth is actually flat, and that we’ve all been lied to!

Well, famous astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson is stepping in to try and help the 27-year-old out by attempting to answer some of his questions.
In response to B.o.B.’s claims, he shared:
@bobatl Earth’s curve indeed blocks 150 (not 170) ft of Manhattan. But most buildings in midtown are waaay taller than that.

@bobatl Polaris is gone by 1.5 deg S. Latitude. You├óΓé¼Γäóve never been south of Earth├óΓé¼Γäós Equator, or if so, you’ve never looked up.

@bobatl Flat Earth is a problem only when people in charge think that way. No law stops you from regressively basking in it.
— Neil deGrasse Tyson (@neiltyson) January 25, 2016
@bobatl Duude — to be clear: Being five centuries regressed in your reasoning doesn’t mean we all can’t still like your music
— Neil deGrasse Tyson (@neiltyson) January 25, 2016
LOLz!! So true!
And obviously B.o.B. is very welcome to his own opinion… especially since it doesn’t sound like Neil could convince the rapper otherwise.
The Georgia-native rebutted, explaining:
@NASA @neiltyson show a continuous uninterrupted shot of a space shuttle from launch to full-orbit… NO EDITS

@neiltyson how did they figure out how to get through the Van Allen Belt ?
— B.o.B (@bobatl) January 25, 2016
He even retweeted the following:
@neiltyson @bobatl Instead of childish comebacks, why not answer the question? You’re a “scientist” right?
— Andrew ✌ (@amshiraah) January 25, 2016
Sigh. Sounds like the musician is way too deep into this conspiracy theory.
Do U think he’ll ever learn the truth??
