So, earlier on today, Basketmouth shared this tweet which to him seemed harmless.
Unfortunately, it pissed a whole lot of people off.


Basketmouth has since deleted the tweet and has apologized but reactions continue to pour in.
Some people are strongly asking brands for whom Basketmouth is an ambassador to dump him.
A Zimbabwean mother of four even wrote in from the States lashing out at the comedian.

A hashtag #RapeIsNoJoke has already been created to pursue the cause.

For Pete's sake, who are those saying his contract with glo should be terminated after he had apologized? It's wa o.

As if they don't know what "joke" means. Nonsense!

Wahala wa

Wetin person no go see? haters gonn hate

Twitter has given a lot of jobless people a medium to show their joblessness. What was so bad about that joke? I've heard worse from foreign comedians

...basket mouth spoke the truth & every boody agree wit him 1000 00000 00 00000 000 million times...black women are gold diggers...period.

...even women agree that black women are gold diggggars (no ooofesnce)

..no offense but any women that don't agree with his great point need to go and find plates to wash or food to cook or children to baby sit or trousers to iron...we all agree with basket mouth!

Rats gon rat,snakes gon hiss,haters gon hate,it was just a harmless joke,e be like say dey don dey wait for am since make him do one mistake,see attack,and dey wr targeting his contract,ppl sha smh
If it was a bad thing that he did,how's terminating his contract goin to change it,dey r even callin him rapist,because he made a rape joke
A famous writer once said,d only way to remain sane is to laff at our problems,pls make una leave my basket mouth alone oo,he has already apologised

In as much as that subject is a sore one...I think he meant no harm. Buh the pple or families of dose hu hv been victims will think differently so deleting it was the sensible thing to do as well as the apology. Buh calling fr glo to terminate his contract? That's crazy...pple thinking like that are jobless and full of malice.

Harmless joke taken serious by perverts. Mtcheew.

Ra'pe is not a joke but what about stealing? A guy spends his hard earned money to take a girl out but instead of telling him she is not interested in any intimacy from the beginning she spends his money on food and clothes like a hungry wh0re.
That joke has been passed around since 2012 and no one complained but now that a celebrity is involved, his contract with glo and MTV should be terminated.....Bad Belle Orisirisi.

Harmless joke na him dem carry for head like dada.

They are just blowing this thing out of proportion

This joke is old sef it has bin in circulation for long. Why do dey want glo to end his contract cos of this? His joke is small sef if u guys hear what chris rock said about africa na hypertension una go get. But if he insults a president of dis control u all will laugh

They are trying to molest his career.

There's nothing wrong with this joke na.

Those people calling for his contract with glo to be terminated are plain silly. This is an harmless joke, besides, it's not like he is the rightful owner of the joke. Awon smellos!!

he should have avoided the word"rape"
instead he should have used non-consentual sex.he was absolutely right cos this happens in most relationship in this part of the world

Nothing wrong wit this joke nah.


Ok,they should cancel his contract and give it to u?

Old Joke, not basket mouth's. He only modified it. People just misunderstood it or chose to. It dosnt make him a rapist.

I hve seen dis earlier today on nl. tho i din particularly find it funi, I had no ish wid it. in d oda news, OMO C GOBE!!!
