The Earth is flat, claims B.o.B
By Andy Malt | Published on Tuesday 26 January 2016
Following on from various conspiracy theories he has discussed on social media recently, US rapper B.o.B spent all of yesterday trying to convince his followers that the Earth is flat.
He pointed out the lack of a visible curve on the horizon in photographs. He pointed to time-lapse photos of stars. He pointed out that it would be much windier on the ground if the planet was actually spinning around really fast. And he asked why the horizon is always at eye level regardless of how high up you travel.
“I was on a plane the SAME time the Red Bull jump happened”, he explained. “The pilot told us to look out the window – five miles to the left was the balloon. We were flying at the SAME altitude as the guy who did the red bull jump… NO curve… even though their footage shows otherwise”.
He added that detractors had failed to do their research, were just regurgitating information that they had been “force fed”, and were denying physics. Tired of people not doing the research, he then posted it for them, venturing into ‘faked moon landings’ territory at one stage too.
As attention for his campaign grew, this morning he criticised the way it was being reported in the media. “They want me to be a ‘good little rapper’ and sing and dance and don’t question things”, he wrote. “I’m going up against the greatest liars in history. You’ve been tremendously deceived. No I’m not crazy. Yes I’m feeling fine. No I’m not doing anything stronger than weed. Am I doing this to promote my music? No”.
