Neil deGrasse Tyson may have basically ethered B.o.B, but he’s still extending an olive branch out to the Atlanta rapper. During a brief encounter with TMZ following his appearance on The Nightly Show, Tyson expressed a desire to work with B.o.B on educating him about science and beyond. “As an educator, I don’t blame him — I blame his science teachers. I blame the educational system that created a state in which people end up thinking that way. That’s what we’re trying to improve here, the state of the education in the country,” says Tyson. The popular scientist then revealed that he’d be willing to educate B.o.B personally, but that it’s not really his job to track down everyone with archaic ideas and educate them one-on-one. Also, considering any musical back-and-forth, he deads it. Tyson concludes, “I’m not a rapper, I’m an astrophysicist.”
