Wiz Khalifa Joins List of Celebrities Endorsing Flat Earth Conspiracy Theory
Wiz Khalifa has surprised fans by expressing his belief in the long-debunked conspiracy theory that the Earth is flat. The rapper shared his views during a recent appearance on The Joe Budden Podcast, aligning himself with other public figures such as Kyrie Irving, B.O.B., and Fivio Foreign, who have also publicly questioned the shape of the planet.
When podcast co-host Melyssa Ford asked if he believed the Earth is round, Wiz responded simply: “I would say no.” He went on to elaborate, stating, “I just believe that we live on a flat plane, like a huge flat plane.”
According to the “Black & Yellow” hitmaker, his perspective is rooted in his experiences as a touring artist. “It’s only because I’ve traveled so much,” he explained. “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.”
Wiz also voiced skepticism toward modern science and 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.”
Despite his comments, fans were quick to point out an inconsistency—Wiz Khalifa’s new album Kush + Orange Juice 2 features a cover image of a round Earth, the very depiction he now claims to reject.
Wiz joins a short list of musicians and celebrities who have stirred controversy by backing the flat Earth theory. B.O.B., one of the most vocal proponents of the idea, once launched a crowdfunding campaign to send satellites into space to prove his beliefs. The effort ultimately fell short, but B.O.B. has continued to defend his position through his music, most notably on the track “Ted Talk.”
While flat Earth theories have been widely discredited by the scientific community for centuries, they continue to resurface in pop culture conversations—often fueled by celebrity speculation, internet forums, and social media buzz.
As for Wiz, he has yet to provide any scientific evidence for his claims, and his remarks are already sparking debate among fans, critics, and science communicators alike.
