Bobby Ray Simmons Jr., better known as B.o.B, has recently found himself making headlines once again as baseless rumours swirl on social media. The Georgian rapper rose to fame in the late 2000s and early 2010s with hits like “Nothin’ on You” featuring Bruno Mars and “Airplanes” featuring Hayley Williams of Paramore.
Born in 1998 and hailing from Decatur, Georgia, B.o.B started gaining recognition in the music industry around 2007. He enjoyed a successful run until around 2011 when he began to fade from the limelight. Despite this, he continues to create music and engage with his dedicated fan base.
Off stage, B.o.B has gained attention for his controversial views, such as his belief that the earth is flat. This stance led to interactions with renowned astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, who attempted to educate him on the true shape of the earth.
Recently, social media became abuzz with rumors of B.o.B’s death, with some suggesting that the government was involved. However, it was quickly clarified that the rapper is alive and well. The exact origins of the trending topic remain unclear, with some pointing fingers at a deceptive TikTok account.
Despite the rumors, B.o.B has been active on his Instagram account, keeping his followers updated with his latest ventures. From collaborating with Jessie J on “Pricetag” to releasing singles like “Steve Harvey,” the rapper has continued to expand his discography.
In addition to releasing music, B.o.B has shown his support for the flat-Earth movement, even leading a fundraiser to send a satellite into space to prove his beliefs. His upcoming album, “Space Time,” is highly anticipated by fans, showcasing that the rapper has no plans of slowing down anytime soon.
