B.o.B. Says He Feared For His Life After Giving His Flat Earth Theory

by Daryl Nelson

At one time, B.o.B was known for his 2009 smash hit "Nothin' on You," thanks to a catchy Bruno Mars hook. 

But in recent years, the Atlanta rapper has been more known for saying the Earth is flat, a theory he started giving in 2016. 

B.o.B said that he feared for his life after talking about it.

“For me it wasn’t even so much the flat earth sh*t, but it was like when I was doing the elements sh*t and cloning and all that sh*t, bro, it's like, I was for sure, I was like, ‘They gon' try and get me, bruh,'"he told HipHopDX. "Because you know it’s like most people when they go through that type of sh*t, that awakening phase, they do it on their own time, but me I did it in public.”

B.o.B also spoke about his 2016 Twitter debate with well-known astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson about the Earth being flat.

"I was like, ‘Who the f*ck?’ Then, somebody was like, ‘You should make a song called 'Flatline,' and I was like, ‘Yeah man, f*ck yeah I’m doing this now,'" he explained. "So I’m just like unloading the whole clip and just like ‘F*ck it, f*ck it, f*ck it, f*ck it,’ and in hindsight that’s some wild ass sh*t.”
