Wiz Khalifa doesn't believe the Earth is round: 'We live on a flat plane'
Wiz Khalifa seemingly believes Earth is flat.
The 'Black and Yellow' rapper has rejected the notion the planet is round and is convinced that humans reside on a "huge flat plane".
Asked if he thinks Earth is round, he said in a Patreon episode of 'The Joe Budden Podcast': "No.
'I just believe that we live on a flat plane, like a huge flat plane.
'It's only because I've travelled so much."
But guest host and academic Marc Lamont Hill then asked Wiz if he had ever travelled to the edge of the Earth.
Seemingly referring to the supercontinent of Pangaea, he said: "Nah, it's not that. I think that there's more masses than just what we see because it was one thing before and it spread out.
'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."
The 37-year-old musician also cast doubt on space exploration.
He said: "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.'
Despite his comments, the 'See You Again' hitmaker's latest album, 'Kush + Orange Juice 2', features a photo of a round Earth on its cover.
The record is a follow-up to his 2010 album but Wiz recently admitted he "wasn't into doing a sequel" and "would always leave 'Kush + Orange Juice' alone", but his thoughts changed when he began working on the record.
He told Grammy.com: "I just thought, 'What would be the most satisfying for the fans and the people who support me? Should I start over and do something brand new, or re-create something that they already love and that they're already used to?'
"So that's what made me make the decision to work on a follow-up."

Snoop Dogg's dog dies
Snoop Dogg's dog has died. The Drop It Like It's Hot hitmaker was given French bulldog Juelz as a 43rd birthday gift from Wiz Khalifa in 2014 but now his beloved pet has passed away. Snoop shared a video of Juelz in the front seat of his car, soundtracked by Weldon Irvine's 'Morning Sunrise' and wrote on Instagram: "'Rip @juelzbroadus [crying emoji]Thank wiz for giving him to me.(sic)" The 53-year-old rapper then shared a second video, which featured a montage of Juelz with Snoop and his family and friends over the years, with Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth's 'See You Again' playing over the top. He wrote: "Miss my dogg @juelzbroadus (sic)" Juelz had his own Instagram account, which had thousands of followers and documented his adventures with his famous owner over the years. Meanwhile, Snoop - who has another French bulldog, Frank - recently admitted he is keen to open a food stall at Celtic Park, the Scottish home of his favourite soccer side Celtic. He told Scotland's Sunday Mail newspaper: 'There has always been the opinion that food at sports stadiums is never good but that ain't got to be the case. 'People know that Snoop is a cook and I would love to bring a pop up burger to a sports stadium to show fans that food at stadiums can be good. 'It's got to be Celtic Park man, I mean where else am I going to bring it. "The secret to a good burger is the love in the preparation. The ground beef has got to be mixed with some secret spices, then add a good quality cheese and some maple cured bacon. 'The Celtic fans are gonna love it, and to make sure they are just right, Snoop is going to be serving them himself.' But Snoop has no interest in offering his food to Celtic's great rivals rangers. He said: "Am I going to bring my burgers to Rangers as well? Nah, I think we will give that a miss!' Snoop revealed back in 2012 that he wanted to buy shares in Celtic after watching the Parkhead side beat Barcelona in the Champions League in November that year. At the time he said: "I got a lot of interest in soccer. It's not a new thing for hip hop stars to invest in sports teams but it is a new thing for hip hop stars to invest in soccer teams...I see how passionate Celtic fans are about their team and I could see myself making an investment if any of the board wanted to sell...I want to bring a bit of Snoop to things."

Brandi Glanville makes heart-breaking confession about 'hiding out' amid medical mystery
Brandi Glanville has been on a break from social media, because she can't bear to deal with "cruel comments" about her appearance. The 52-year-old reality star - who has been dealing with an undisclosed medical condition that has caused facial disfiguration for nearly two years - admitted she has been "hiding out" because of nasty posts about her looks. However, Brandi has vowed to return to "sharing authentically" on social media "without all the filters and heavy edits". She wrote on X: "It's been a minute since I posted on Patreon, but I'm going back and will be interacting on there again. I haven't posted much on any social site lately because I'm hiding out and don't want to deal with the cruel comments on my appearance, but I'll be posting and sharing authentically without all the filters and heavy edits.. See you there and don't forget to turn on your notifications for the daily drops (sic)" Earlier this month, the former 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star admitted getting back to work had a huge "positive" impact on her health, after she teamed up with RIP Youth and Beks on new single 'Remedy'. Brandi told BANG Showbiz: "Getting back to work has had such a positive effect on both my mental and even my physical health during these hard times. "I'm looking forward to traveling again to promote and perform 'Remedy' with people I adore. Everyone who was involved in this song is awesome. "It's such a nice feeling to bring joy to people with this music 'Remedy', like with my books. "It's a positive change in comparison to 'Real Housewives'." What's more, Brandi told how she enjoys having "control" of her own narrative through music, instead of being at the mercy of an editing team. She said: "Unlike reality TV that fell into my lap - although I did enjoy some of it - doing this song 'Remedy' was completely my choice and such a creative pleasure. "I can breathe when I'm doing music because I get to write and deliver my own narrative. I don't have to worry about being edited badly or what false story will be pitched. I love LOVE and control."
