Nigerians Are All Hypocrites, The Rape Controversy Sold Out My Show Big Time - Basketmouth Nigerian comedian, Basketmouth while on Rubbing Minds last Sunday he is happy about the rape joke he shared on his Facebook page which had so many Nigerian insulting him. The shows host, Ebuka had asked Basketmouth what the biggest lesson he learnt after sharing the rape joke. Basket mouths reply: None! The thing is they are all hypocrites in this country. Most of us actually are. The thing is, its a joke. Do you understand me? Its just a joke. Im not celebrating rape, its just a joke. And they wanted to just kill me, you know, and Im sorry about it, honestly, I am sorry about it, but.. I tried as much as possible not to let it consume my creativity because if I start saying, oh you cant talk about this, there shouldntt be any topic that cant be talked about, its a joke. I crack jokes about my own death, do you understand, and people laugh about my own death, its just a joke. Lets grow beyond this. Definitely, Im not going to crack a joke about rape again, I shouldnt even be saying the word. Ive learnt my lesson, but we shouldnt have limits. But Im happy that controversy came up, it helped me sell my tickets. I sold out, my show was sold out big time, we even started selling standing tickets. There werent meant to be standing tickets, regular tickets were supposed to be 25 pounds but because of the controversy, London Guardian carried the story, even compared me with Jimmy Carr, my tickets sold out. We even sold extra 600 standing tickets at 75 pounds! So Im looking for another controversy, though not that type.
