"I'm going up against the greatest liars in history... you've all been tremendously deceived", B.o.B tells his followers.
US rapper Bobby Ray Simmons Jr, better known as
B.o.B, has told critics to look at the evidence and "grow up" after
insisting on Twitter that the world is flat.
Over the last few days the American rapper has been presenting his case in a stunning series of tweets.
"I'm going up against the greatest liars in history ...
you've been tremendously deceived", he has told his 2.3 million
followers.
"A lot of people are turned off by the phrase "flat earth"
... but there's no way u can see all the evidence and not know... grow
up," he wrote.
The rapper, who is famous for hits such as Nothin' on You,
Airplanes and Magic, tweeted numerous pictures of flat horizons in an
effort to prove his point.
He also argued that if the earth was in fact curved, distant cities and landmarks would be hidden from view.
"No matter how high in elevation you are ... the horizon is
always eye level ... sorry cadets ... I didn't wanna believe it either,"
he wrote.
The rapper has also released a song called Flatline, during
which he raps: "You ain't seen my best, check mate in a game of chess /
Globalists see me as a threat, free thinking got the world at my neck."
He later adds on the track: "Flatline, Flatline, you've fooled us for the last time".
B.o.B's comments have caused a considerable buzz and have
even prompted a response from the well-known US astrophysicist and
cosmologist Neil deGrasse Tyson, who poured cold water on B.o.B's claims
in an amusing exchange.
After pointing out several inaccuracies, deGrasse Tyson tweeted:
"Duude - to be clear: Being five centuries regressed in your reasoning
doesn't mean we all can't still like your music."
B.o.B also used Flatline to hit out at deGrasse Tyson,
rapping: "Neil Tyson need to loosen his vest, they probably write that
man one hell of a check."
Not everyone is quite so sceptical however, with one starry
eyed follower tweeting: "At first I didn't believe you, but you've
helped me see the light, forever grateful Bob".
Others, however, were a little less supportive.
"I'm so glad you're just a B list celebrity and not someone really important," one person tweeted.
Hitting back, B.o.B wrote: "They want me to be a 'good little rapper' and sing and dance and don't question things ..."
"here n america, you can be anything, worship anything,
& believe anything... EXCEPT the earth not being round... they'll
hang u 4 that 1."
And he didn't stop there.
He is using his new-found myth-busting platform to weigh in on a few other well-trodden debates.
"Remember when they 'lost' to footage to the 1st moon landing 😂", he tweeted, sarcastically.
