sad

men and women must learn never to make statements that makes rape an accepted norm.
rape is a crime against humanity
But it's got a name

that's why we have to accept and deal with it

He has apologised.


Lesson learnt.


BMW should, please forgive him and go ahead with the contract.


We at home will chastise him too.


Thank you BMW team for your understanding.


Long live BMW for upholding good morals.

I support BMW on this and I applaud them for making sure they protect the millions of men and women that have been raped. It is not a joke. It is a sad reality that sometimes money doesn’t buy class.

The guy did some sexual stuff in his last match he won as well ...do you but allow others to do them


As a female it's not surprising that you'd support them.
Virtually everything is rape to ladies this days.
I'm sure you've concluded in your head that Israel Adesanya is a rapist.

Las las, everybody go dey alright.

Exactly what I meant, he didn't mean he will literally rape him, he just meant he will feel violated after the beating.

Nigerians outside Nigeria have a lot to learn...he should just fire his P.R manager because its the PR guys job to not allow him to post such nonsense!

You're just another victim of the subtle mechanism used to silence people especially celebrities.

The powers that be clearly want to always control everyone especially celebrities.

Israel's popularity is not only because of his fighting skills but also his freedom to say whatever he wants as long as it's not overboard.
Yes, the rape comment was a sensitive one, it doesn't make him a rapist. It's just the same as saying "fck you!"

He however after all the backlash has apologised cos we live in a generation where it's almost impossible to say anything cos everyone is emotional these days.

You can't even call some gay without being labelled homophobic.
Even transgenders have more rights now than straight people in the US.

BMW is being stupid as a brand for dropping him for that comment. They think other brands will follow suit.
But it only shows they never knew him from the get-go. So theirs was a mismatch.

Israel will continue to have his freedom to talk trash and bash his opponents.
Imagine saying a rapper is not allowed to curse on wax.
Rap itself is mostly cursing.

Thanks bro.
U exactly spoke my mind.

Who ever Israel was going to fight that made him utter that balderdash and lose his ambasadorship better postpone the fight. Israel will kill him.

This is the absolute thing to do from a reputable company like BMW. Maturity and self discipline should always take centre stage.
I expected more from Israel, as an African we pride ourselves with morals.
Israel portray Africans in good light.

I watched the fight.
I'm still trying to understand your reason for sharing it though. Guess you're referring to his "distasteful act" after winning the fight?
Thats what it was distasteful. It doesn't make him a rapist.

If you had followed the fight, you would have known that Costa humiliated him in so many ways before and during the press conference leading to the fight.
Israel did that to humiliate him back.

Does that make him a rapist though?

A rapist is someone who commits the act of rape.
Not someone you assume has a possibility of committing rape!!!

Women. I bow for una. Every guy is a possible rapist except your dad right?

I know that was not his intention. It was just a playful banter, however, he should be careful with his choice of words in the future.
I think over censorship is gradually destroying the world, like, we are humans and we all make mistakes haba!

But, Bubu has been raping us without condom since time immemorial,but nobody has ever sanctioned him..

I wonder what the world power is still waiting to arrest him,since the word "rape" is a vurgar word not to be used.
To my best of knowdge, Ezy only used it as a joke,even though it is not allowed & was sanctioned.But what about Bubu that has been practicing the rape on us,front & back down our apertures & nothing has been done about it.
Infact, this world no balance at all.
