Wiz Khalifa is making headlines for something other than his music , his wild views on the shape of the planet. Yep, Wiz Khalifa’s flat Earth belief just dropped during an episode of ‘The Joe Budden Podcast,’ and fans are seriously scratching their heads. When asked if he thinks Earth is round, the ‘Black and Yellow’ rapper flat-out said no. According to Wiz, we all live on a “huge flat plane,” and his reason? His travel experiences.
Wiz explained that because of the flight routes he’s taken, it doesn’t feel like traveling over a sphere , it feels like going straight across a plane. When guest host Marc Lamont Hill asked him if he had ever traveled to the “edge” of the Earth, Wiz didn’t really have a direct answer but instead threw out some thoughts about Pangaea and land masses moving around over time. It’s giving conspiracy vibes, for sure.
But he didn’t stop there. Wiz Khalifa’s flat Earth belief goes hand-in-hand with his total skepticism about space exploration. He said he doesn’t buy into the idea that we explore space as much as NASA and others claim. Basically, Wiz isn’t just questioning the shape of the planet , he’s questioning the whole universe.
The hilarious twist? Even though he’s out here saying Earth isn’t round, his newest album, Kush + Orange Juice 2, actually features a very round-looking Earth on the cover. The irony is real. This album is a long-awaited sequel to his 2010 classic ‘Kush + Orange Juice,’ even though Wiz originally didn’t want to do a follow-up. In a chat with Grammy.com, he said he changed his mind when he realized how much the fans still loved the original and wanted more.
At the end of the day, Wiz Khalifa’s flat Earth belief might sound out there, but hey , he’s always marched to the beat of his own drum. Whether you think he’s onto something or just tripping, there’s no denying Wiz knows how to keep people talking.
