Wiz Khalifa says Earth is flat during Joe Budden Podcast appearance
Khalifa attributed his views to his experiences as a touring artist, saying the flight routes he takes never seem to reflect the Earth's curvature. 'You're just going straight—that's the only reason I think that,' he explained. He also expressed skepticism about space travel, stating, 'I don't believe in space exploration at all. I don't believe that they explore space as much as they say that they do.'
Notably, despite his comments, Khalifa's recent album Kush + Orange Juice 2 features cover art depicting a round Earth—a detail that has drawn attention online.
His remarks align him with other public figures, including rapper B.O.B., who previously launched a failed crowdfunding campaign to prove the flat Earth theory via satellite. B.O.B. later defended his beliefs in the song Ted Talk, criticizing media personalities and arguing that his views were misrepresented.
As of now, Wiz Khalifa has not issued any follow-up statements regarding his remarks. His appearance has sparked widespread reactions online, with many questioning his rejection of scientific consensus and the role of celebrities in spreading misinformation.

LOS ANGELES: US actor Malcolm-Jamal Warner, who played the son in the smash-hit sitcom 'The Cosby Show,' has drowned in Costa Rica, authorities in the country said Monday. He was 54.

Warner, who was nominated for an Emmy for his work on 'The Cosby Show,' also appeared in sitcoms 'Malcolm & Eddie' and 'Reed Between the Lines.' 'The Cosby Show,' which ran from 1984 to 1992, was one of the biggest TV hits of its time, detailing the lives of a middle-class Black family in New York. The show was inspired by the stand-up routines of Bill Cosby, who played the family's patriarch, a successful doctor.

But its legacy has been overshadowed in recent years by dozens of complaints of sexual assault against Cosby, a man once known as 'America's Dad.'
