Wiz Khalifa Sparks Flat Earth Debate

Rapper Wiz Khalifa expressed his belief in the flat Earth theory during a recent appearance on The Joe Budden Podcast, stating he thinks 'we live on a flat plane' based on his travel experiences, and was pressed on his views by co-hosts and academic Marc Lamont Hill. Khalifa suggested flight paths do not reflect Earth's curvature and voiced skepticism about the extent of space exploration, while also speculating about undiscovered land masses. His new album, 'Kush + Orange Juice 2,' features cover art with a round Earth, prompting humor and criticism online. Khalifa's remarks align him with other celebrities like B.O.B. and Kyrie Irving who have endorsed flat Earth ideas, fueling renewed debate about celebrity influence on scientific misinformation. Experts continue to affirm the spherical nature of Earth, citing extensive evidence from history and modern science. The incident underscores wider issues of mistrust in science and the resurgence of conspiracy theories.
