The popular comedian broadcast a joke highlighting the difference between a white girl and an African girl and included rape in his list (above) on his Facebook page which enraged a lot of people ...and they came after him.

Basketmouth has since taken down the post and apologized to his fans on his Facebook page. His apology after the cut...

The point is nobody turned him on his back or against a wall to buy those gifts, why should a lady endure such for receiving a gift?

Sorry but i aint gon support bmouth even after his apology and for those of y'all ladies saying "theres nothing wrong in his statement" then obviously u have never been raped or any of ur friends subjected to such. My close female friend was raped 5 yrs back and it took her more than a yr to recuperate from the shock with the help of shrinks! If she read bmouth purported stupid joke then that would uncover healed wound!
By the way, stop looking down and making a cheap jokes outta our women ...its just totally disrespectful. We aint no white, WE ARE BLACKS and thats our culture.
Am not human right activist but i have a sister i would die for, yes, DIE for.

All i will say is that he is lucky to be African, and the same Afrian women would still worship him a thousand times over. And he ha so revered the white ladies that, the African women are next to nothing. If he had said this about white ladies, he would be made a persona non granta to most of the developed nations in the world and he would be called a racist! So he should just ignore and move on and never make such errors anymore

Bright shared a joke not meant for the public.I don't see him as a rapist. He's just shared the wrong joke. Now that highlights a salient point. Eye contact and cyber viewers.never merge them together......

Yes its a joke,but was taken too far,african dignity over sex and rape is sacrosanct...we dont pre..marital sex and rape as a way of quenching sexual tension is a taboo.something are meant to be left the way they are,we are africans we strong roots and traditions,not outlaws,we must not be like the westherners who have sex after the third date.bad one@basket_mouth. @mezinna

People are just getting emotional unnecessarily, it was just a scenario analysis. it doesn't mean he supports rape. it's even an eye opener for ladies who go after material things. of course RAPE is not a good thing and anybody in his/her right sense would not support it. Nigerians should be objective in their reasoning.

pple should know dat basket is a comedian not a politician,activisite or doctor. so any broadcast massage with similar content should be taking as a joke nothing more! more over the joke in question did not rape any body.....haba Naija,we have other pressing issues dat are more important and obviosly defiling our rights as humans...basket i beg if u get another hot rape joke trow make i laff.

linda happy new year, as far as am concern basketmouth doesn't have jokes noting reasonable to joke on. if is not sex, it will be kiss, if is not kiss it will be rape. is that what he want the youth of this day to learn? thank God he has a daughter.

Attempted sex is not rape !!!!

Anonymous said...

I am not a fan of Basket Mouth, I believe his joke has been taken out of context. He certainly isn`t encouraging anyone to rape. I believe you all know what he meant by the joke especially you Nigeria girls who turn Nigeria men to their ATM machines. Stop condemning him and stop being a hypocrite.

I'm a woman, that has endured the trauma of being raped! And trust me it haunts you for the rest of your life.
But even I know this is a joke! And in all honesty there's some "realness" to it. That's really what nigerian girls do! And after chopping the man's naira, instead of them to go to their father's house and sleep, they "sleep-over"!
They create the avenue for "rape"!.
Na we dey cause our problem.
Everyone should stop getting their knickers in a twist! It's just a joke and NOT a tasteless one. (if I do say so myself) (speaking as a victim).

Rapist camouflaging under anon. Flipping idiots!! I think Bright's joke rather shed some light on the degenerated state of things in Nigeria where a man feels he can rape a woman just because he's been on several dates with her and feels justified. I can definitely understand how a rape victim would find this distressing but more importantly, I think Nigerian men need to take a deeper reflective look at themselves and honestly decide where they fall in the grand scheme of things because at the end of the day, they all came out of women too. And at anon 9:47, I just pray you get caught during your next attempt to rape because you seem to think it is ok after all the gifts and failed attempts. #smh

You are really daft!

Honest Nigerian said...

Abeggi all ds hypocrites shuld go and jump in a lagoon. First of all, it was a joke. There are loads of jokes that are more offensive. Personally, I do not even see the offense in the joke. What he stated is a fact. Not that I condone such, or rape - truth is, some girls bring it on themselves. I still reiterate, I DO NOT CONDONE RAPE!!

Secondly, the dude apologized and he's still being crucified. Why must we always behave like this. WHITE pple would not do that. They would even laugh at the joke, cos that's all it is.. A JOKE.

There are all kinds of jokes, about religion, tribe, accents, school, sex, etc, but they are all as stated... JOKES.

Abeg make we hear word. Some of the pple complaining, have even raped someone before. The girl does not need to bleed. Once she dint want to do it and u convinced/deceived her, it is rape.

What is even more surprising is the number of females who see nothing wrong with making a 'joke' out of rape and who continue to venerate basketmouth. The problem here is that basketmouth has normalised rape with his 'joke'. Thankfully, people are actually speaking out against rape which is a great result

Rubbbbish.....so madam babara u are now a vivid advocator for
ladies parasiting on men for money they don't knw its origin...its
a two way thing o...basketmouth is even sensitizing the public
on the dangers of continiously eating a mans money and coming
back without reciprocating, u sud giv anuda 2hrs lecture note to
gals advising them to stop eating people hard earned money and
inviting the person on.....I see u as a hypocrite , let basketmouth
be joooooor...and take the joke as a joke which it rightly
is...goooooooosh!

What is wrong with the post, he was not encouraging rape rather pointing out one of the reasons that results to guys raping girls. Good he apologized but if you ask me, I don't see need for that because there is nothing comedians don't joke about. A decent girl don't accept gift from every man let alone unnecessarily demanding from a guy who is not your father. Diss me for my comment, who cares. Linda, do justice to this post

Best said...

If you have ever been raped, I am very sorry about that but why were you raped? If you were raped for the same reason basket mouth posted the joke, then you should learn a lesson from it. I have attempted sleeping with a girl I spent on, if I had succeeded, it would have been tagged rape if she takes up the matter but when she was milking me, reducing my wallet, she never thought of the fact that I might make my demand in return. Lets be sincere to ourselves. I am not saying this is the only reason why girls are raped but one of the reasons. Linda, this is a fall out, add it to my initial post

Unknown said...

Frankly, I don't see what's ao offensive about this joke. People just want to make a big deal out of everything n give a bad name to celebs. It makes them feel somewhat educated when dey have to write a letter of displeasure. Yeah WTH! I actually laughed wen I saw d joke. Maybe cos am a joker myself...hehe.

Unknown said...

Frankly I do not see the wrong in this joke. Some people just like being the grinch that stole Christmas. Give jr self a heart attack cos someone who we know is a joker made a joke...yes...duh!
For many taking a hit at celebs is just a way to feel important since u dnt get noticed often n so you can also seem educated by writing long ass letters. Well hell, add Basket to d long line of jokers... Eddie Griffin, said Nigger. Basket, said Rape.

I still do not understand why people will get annoyed over a joke? Whatever is said there was intended to make people laugh and nothing more-that's why its called joke.

Abeg make una talk serious thing and free the young man.

Mtwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!

You even have time to apologise; them dey yab mama and papa for yoke nobody dey yarn, e mean say mama and papa no be serious thing?
make una hide face jare.

Na me say so. keep it up brother.

Unknown said...

I still don't get why people are offended over a real joke?

Its what Nigeria girls do to be frank; some will tell a desperate man that they want a relationship but on the condition that they will only be partying, no sex. Who dey fool who? Yam or Goat?

Moreover it is called a joke, na comedy. People say possible things to make people laugh.

Make una free my bros jare, haters should try hugging a trans4mer. He even had time to say sorry. Only dull brains will complain.

If we continue to get annoyed over nothing, soon there will be no joke bcos if you yab politicians u go go jail, you yab police u go cell, etc.

Wise up naija.

I have a terrible sexual abuse past and even I wasn't irritated by the joke. Esther and all the other career hungry people need to chill. After all the rants, what has been done to help us victims? Nothing. They were silently pushing their careers enough to be appointed ambassadors out of a comedian's mistake. Shame.

Unknown said...

chill people... Basket-mouth is a professional entertainer who tells jokes or performs various other routines DESIGNED to make people laugh.
C O M E D Y!!!!! a comedian is a joker anytime his job is to amuse.....shouldn't take what they say seriously... dats y he is a comedian anyways.

Why nigerian girls talk dis serious.... It jost an ordinary joke, so pls accept his apologies

Really?! Nigerians got offended about this joke? I mean we've heard countless of such jokes and we laugh over it! It now appears like I'm a stranger in Nigeria, Naija youths that I knw even prefer to joke over more serious matters! I fink Basketmouth really needs to pray against his enemies that might want him faceoff this year. This joke isn't worth the rejection. It remains a joke from a comedian and nothing more!
