B.o.B is putting forward his case that the Earth is flat in a series of bizarre tweets claiming the world has been “tremendously deceived” and urging everyone to "grow up" and realise it.

The rapper launched a Twitter rant overnight about the Earth's shape and suggestions of a cover-up, tweeting screenshots of text and images purporting to show the Earth could not be round.
