Science B.o.B claims that fans giving him money is the only way to prove the earth is flat.

Why?
This shit is giving him publicity and is likely to increase his album sales and exposes new people to his music (or whatever he does).
It's daft but a pretty decent PR move.
because so many people are going to buy his album because of this. I can just imagine it now "I hear that's the guy who thinks the earth is flat let's buy his album".

I'd never heard of him before, then he said something stupid and now I have. If even ten or twenty people end up looking into his music because of this, that's ten or twenty sales he wasn't getting otherwise. And I doubt anyone who was going to buy his stuff is going to say "wait, isn't this the flat earth rapper? No way, dodged a bullet there".
When you're trying to move a product, any attention, even negative attention, is better than zero attention.

That said I bet this is a scam. Still, I have a grudging respect for charlatans. Fools are going to be parted from their money one way or another, so I can't spend too much energy hating the person who makes sure that money ends up in their pocket first.
