Remember B.o.B of "Nothin' on You" and "Airplanes" fame? He will not stay quiet about a big topic: The Earth's so-called roundness. For the last day, B.o.B has questioned the shape of the planet in a series of tweets, going so far as to state the Earth is flat.

No matter how high in elevation you are... the horizon is always eye level ... sorry cadets... I didn't wanna believe it either.

A lot of people are turned off by the phrase "flat earth" ... but there's no way u can see all the evidence and not know... grow up

And so forth. Check out his feed; there's plenty more. B.o.B kept on going, so Neil DeGrasse Tyson—the renowned physicist who has pointed out the inaccuracies of Star Wars—decided to enter the fray.
@bobatl Earth's curve indeed blocks 150 (not 170) ft of Manhattan. But most buildings in midtown are waaay taller than that.

@bobatl Polaris is gone by 1.5 deg S. Latitude. You’ve never been south of Earth’s Equator, or if so, you've never looked up.

@bobatl Flat Earth is a problem only when people in charge think that way. No law stops you from regressively basking in it.

@bobatl Duude — to be clear: Being five centuries regressed in your reasoning doesn’t mean we all can’t still like your music

Will an expert opinion change B.o.B's mind?

Probably not.
