Neil DeGrasse Tyson Drops Mic On B.o.B. Flat Earth Feud

The feud began when B.o.B decided to spout out some nonsense on Twitter that the world was flat saying that because he could only see a flat horizon, it must be true. He also posted pictures of the planet looking flat and some diagrams of bogus, pseudoscience.

Tyson then got involved refuting his backwards views on Twitter and this started the feud. As all feuds involving rappers should do, it spilled over to music and B.o.B. launched the first volley, recording the diss and inexplicably anti-Semitic track "Flatline " aimed at the scientist. Then Tyson got his nephew to record a diss track over Drake's Grammy-nominated diss track "Back To Back" right back at B.o.B. filled with science and bars.

Now Tyson is taking this to television with an appearance on The Nightly Show where he drops more truth bombs on the Atlanta rapper with plenty of encouragement from the crowd and the host. Eventually after ethering? B.o.B, he drops the mic and walks out in a blaze of glory and the power of science at his back. Your move B.o.B., but it might be time to just the L and walk away.

NEIL DEGRASSE TYSON SLAMS FLAT-EARTHER B.O.B

“Listen, B.o.B, once and for all. The Earth looks flat because: 1) You’re not far enough away at your size, and 2) Your size isn’t large enough relative to Earth to notice any curvature at all.” -- Neil deGrasse Tyson ► Neil deGrasse Tyson responds to rapper B.o.B's claim that the Earth is flat: https://on.cc.com/1Pl1kbm
