Wiz Khalifa has sparked debate after revealing that he subscribes to the long-debunked flat Earth theory. The Pittsburgh rapper made the revelation during a recent appearance on The Joe Budden Podcast, joining a short list of celebrities, including Kyrie Irving, Fivio Foreign, and B.o.B., who have publicly questioned mainstream science on the topic.
When asked directly by co-host Melyssa Ford whether he believed the Earth is round, Wiz responded, âI would say no.â He followed up by sharing his own view: âI just believe that we live on a flat plane â like a huge flat plane.â
Wiz attributed his stance to his life on the road as a touring artist. âItâs only because Iâve traveled so much,â he explained. âBecause when I travel, the routes we take and how we do it â itâs not possible to go up and down. Youâre just going straight. Thatâs the only reason I think that.â
The Taylor Gang frontman didnât stop there. He also expressed skepticism about space exploration, stating, âI donât believe in space exploration at all. I donât believe that they explore space as much as they say that they do.â
Ironically, despite his newly professed flat Earth stance, Wizâs latest album, Kush + Orange Juice 2, features cover art that includes an image of a spherical planet.
