Over Sunday and Monday, the rapper B.o.B. took to Twitter to make a seemingly earnest argument that the whole "world is round" story is a conspiracy:

As of Tuesday, B.o.B. has hit back at Tyson with a dis track titled "Flatline," in which he continues to argue that scientists have convinced us the Earth is round for their own devious reasons. The track contains choice lines like, "Neil Tyson gotta loosen up his vest / They probably write that man one hell of a check" and "Use your common sense / Why is NASA part of the Department of Defense?"
