Wiz Khalifa has recently shared that he supports the thoroughly debunked flat Earth conspiracy theory. During his appearance on The Joe Budden Podcast, the rapper made several statements that go against established science, joining others like Kyrie Irving, Fivio Foreign, and B.O.B. in expressing similar views.
When co-host Melyssa Ford asked if he believed the Earth was round, Wiz answered: “I would say no.” He continued: “I just believe that we live on a flat plane, like a huge flat plane.”
He went on to explain that his belief comes from his experience traveling as a musician: “It’s only because I’ve traveled so much. Because when I travel, the routes that we take and how we do it, it’s not possible to go up and down. You’re just going straight. That’s the only reason I think that.”
Wiz also expressed skepticism about space exploration, saying: “I don’t believe in space exploration at all. I don’t believe that they explore space as much as they say that they do.”
Interestingly, despite his flat Earth stance, Wiz recently used an image of a spherical Earth on the cover of his new album Kush + Orange Juice 2.
Another rapper known for supporting the flat Earth theory is B.O.B., who once tried to raise money through GoFundMe to launch satellites that would prove his belief. However, the campaign did not meet its funding goal. In response to criticism, B.O.B. addressed the backlash in a song titled “Ted Talk,” where he rapped: “First of all don’t call me woke I seen the shit they was plotting,” he rapped. “They put Neil Tyson on TV to make a mockery of it / Yo, these shows be owned by Viacom and they friends / Why would I walk into the lions den and sit and pretend like they ain’t threatened by my mind? / Because I ain’t gonna comply / I mean if I said the sky was purple would it have been such a crime? / Charlamagne Tha God and Lil Duval try to tarnish my image, could have just gave me a call.”
