B.o.B. is very adamant about the Earth being flat. This is now how the rapper is viewed. This didn't change on scientist fan of his to stop listening to his music though. Neil deGrasse Tyson, everyone's favorite astrophysicist, took to Twitter to explain how wrong the rapper is to think that the Earth is flat, but said he'd still listen to his songs. Unfortunately, B.o.B. took this as an attack and has released a response via his Soundcloud. The new track "Flatline" disses deGrasse Tyson, while also showing some Antisemitism with lyrics denying the Holocaust... for some reason. Anyway; you can listen to this new song below, if you'd like.

In a series of tweets that went viral earlier this week, B.o.B. revealed himself to be a flat Earth truther, joining the likes of Tila Tequila. They have some similar arguments, too (via The Observer). You can read our previous coverage of B.o.B.'s revelations right here!
The astrophysicist replied to one of the performer's tweets with an explanation of how the Earth really isn't flat.
@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.

As a response to this, B.o.B. recorded a diss track aimed at the scientist and, for some reason, Judaism. Appropriately (at least for some of the subject matter) titled "Flatline," B.o.B. goes in hard on the scientist and defends his stances regarding the shape of the Earth and his "proof." He also denies the Holocaust happened, so that's an added bonus for ... his fans? Honestly, this track is out there, but we don't even know if B.o.B. believes that "out there" even exists. He's really giving us too much to think about this week.
