We’re Pretty Sure B.o.B Believes In Aliens

B.o.B

B.o.B

Grammy-nominated rapper B.o.B. has a bit of the Agent Mulder in him.

We know this because Sarah interviewed him awhile back, and though he was reluctant to come out and outright say it (smart… probably doesn’t want to be called a crackpot), in his mind we’re already living in an episode of The X-Files.

He said, “Whenever mankind is ready for all of the veils and curtains to be lifted, they’ll be lifted. But, until then, the show must go on. And… the truth is out there.”

Sounds like a dude who believes in aliens, right?
