"Rapper B.o.B., who made waves last year for tweeting that the Earth is flat, now wants your help to prove his theory.
Late last week, he started a GoFundMe campaign, Show BoB The Curve, aiming to find evidence that the planet is actually round.
"Help support B.o.B purchase and launch multiple satellites into space," reads the fundraising page's description. "He will be keeping you updated with step-by-step documentation of the process! Help B.o.B find the curve!"
Since the campaign launched on Sept. 21, 27 donors have given a total $596 to the rapper by the time of writing — he is aiming to raise $200,000 for the project.

"Help support B.o.B purchase and launch multiple satellites into space," reads the fundraising page's description. "He will be keeping you updated with step-by-step documentation of the process! Help B.o.B find the curve!"
In 2016, the rapper, whose real name is Bobby Ray Simmons, dropped a diss track on astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, after Tyson tried to convince him that the Earth is, in fact, round.
"Neil Tyson need to loosen up his vest/ They’ll probably write that man one hell of a check," read one line from B.o.B.'s track,"Flatline."
For his part, Tyson clapped back with a scientific explanation, and dropped his mic on national television to demonstrate gravity.
The view that Planet Earth is a flat disc, as opposed to a globular-shaped spheroid, has been amplified in recent years by celebrity endorsements, reports CNN.Apart from B.o.B., high-profile flat-Earthers include Tila Tequila, NFL player Sammy Watkins and NBA star Kyrie Irving. (However, it turns out Irving could be just trolling everyone with his professed belief in a flat Earth.)"

All he has to do is fly himself "around the world"

This ? out his cotton picking mind.
-
LOL heard this ? earlier today. The only thing that popped in my head(besides the obvious foolishness) is why is he raising money? These rich people can buy all kinds of ? that cost thousands to millions of dollars. A lot of the ? they don't even need or use. Why don't they just save that wasted money on whatever their goal is?
The kind of money B.O.B waist on ? over the years. He could have had 2 or 3 satellites up there. -
-
People actually donated to this ?

it's funny as ? , but I do agree, I at least respect him for going as far as this to try to prove his flat earth theory.
Does he really put it toward doing this, though? We will see. I just have a feeling it won't work and he will give some "they're preventing me from doing this" ? .
The science behind satellites is that they're made for orbit, which in itself proves the earth is spherical and has gravity. That's the funniest part of all of this. -
You man respect this ? wastin' time and money on ? that was proven mathematically hundreds and hundreds of years ago
-
The thing is, they already have satellites up in space. So him raising $200k to put satellites up there is stupid for two reasons;
1. They already have satellites up there
2. It cost more than $200k to launch a satellite. -
Yeah, about as flat as your career BOB
