Rapper B.o.B announces outdoor concert after Kings season opener

Rapper Bobby Ray Simmons, aka B.o.B, will follow up the Kings’ regular season opener with a concert just outside of Golden 1 Center.

Known for hits like “Airplanes,” “Headband” and highly publicized Twitter feuds with astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson in which the rapper insisted the Earth is flat, the Georgia native will bring his talent to Sacramento on Oct. 17, the Kings announced in a news release.

The outdoor show will take place at the Downtown Commons after the game, the news release said. Beer and pizza will be sold.

Hip-hop artist Rob Base, of “I Wanna Rock” fame, will perform that night during the Kings’ halftime show, according to the news release.
