Wiz Khalifa hints he believes the Earth is flat, claiming his extensive travels show it’s “not possible to go up and down.”
Wiz Khalifa, the well-known rapper, recently shared his thoughts about the shape of the Earth during a podcast.
In a discussion on The Joe Budden Podcast, he expressed that he believes the Earth is flat.
This belief is surprising to many, as the idea that Earth is round has been accepted for over 2,000 years.
Wiz Khalifa believes the Earth is flat because he has traveled so much.
In the episode released on April 21, Khalifa, who is 37 years old, said he does not think the Earth is round.
He stated, “I just believe that we live on a flat plane, like a huge flat plane.” His comments sparked interest and debate among listeners.
Khalifa explained his belief by saying that he has traveled a lot. He thinks that his travels support his idea of a flat Earth.
When co-host Melyssa Ford asked him about the Earth’s shape, he firmly replied that he did not believe in a round Earth.
“Nah, it’s not that. I think that there’s more masses than just what we see because it was one thing before and it spread out,” he said
Khalifa believes travel supports his views.
Guest host Marc Lamont Hill challenged Khalifa’s views by asking if he had ever traveled to the edge of the Earth. Khalifa then changed his argument slightly.
He mentioned that he thinks there are more land masses out there that people have not discovered yet.
He referred to the supercontinent Pangaea, which existed millions of years ago.
“Nah, it’s not that. I think that there’s more masses than just what we see because it was one thing before and it spread out,” he said
Khalifa also shared his thoughts on how we travel. He noted that when he travels, the routes he takes feel straight.
“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,”
His comments reflect a unique perspective on travel and geography. Many people may find his views unusual, especially since science has long established that the Earth is round.
The rapper doubts the truth of space exploration.
In addition to his views on the Earth, Khalifa expressed skepticism about space exploration.
“I don’t believe in space exploration at all,” he said. “I don’t believe that they explore space as much as they say that they do.”
Interestingly, despite his flat Earth beliefs, Khalifa’s new album, Kush + Orange Juice 2, features a round image of the Earth on its cover.
The album was released on April 18, just a few days before his podcast appearance. This contradiction has caught the attention of fans and critics alike.
Khalifa mentioned that he was not initially interested in making a sequel to his 2010 album, Kush & Orange Juice.
However, he eventually decided to create a follow-up. He wanted to think about what would please his fans the most.
He said, “What would be the most satisfying for the fans and the people who support me?”
