Nigerian Comedian Basketmouth Reacts to VeryDarkMan and Mr Jollof’s Physical Altercation

A recent incident involving Nigerian comedians VeryDarkMan and Mr Jollof has sparked widespread attention, with popular comedian Basketmouth weighing in on the matter. The two individuals were detained by the Delta State Police Command on November 17, 2025, following a physical fight on a United Nigerian aircraft.

Basketmouth shared his thoughts on the incident via a video on his Instagram page, describing the altercation as “embarrassing.” He reflected on his own past feud with fellow comedian AY Makun, noting that their disagreement never escalated to physical violence. Basketmouth urged the public to promote love and peace, questioning how the situation between VeryDarkMan and Mr Jollof had reached such a point.

The conflict between VeryDarkMan and Mr Jollof originated from allegations made by the former, who accused Mr Jollof’s wife of engaging in adulterous relationships with politicians and internet fraudsters to secure a political appointment in Delta State. In response, the couple filed a N500 million defamation lawsuit against VeryDarkMan.

The recent fight on the aircraft has raised concerns about the escalating nature of celebrity feuds in Nigeria. Basketmouth’s comments highlight the need for individuals to resolve their differences peacefully, rather than resorting to physical violence. As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how the parties involved will move forward.

The incident has sparked a wider conversation about the importance of maintaining respectful and peaceful relationships, even in the face of disagreements. With the entertainment industry often scrutinized for its high-profile feuds, the actions of celebrities like Basketmouth, VeryDarkMan, and Mr Jollof are closely watched by fans and the general public. As the Nigerian entertainment industry continues to grow, it is likely that issues of conflict resolution and peaceful coexistence will remain relevant topics of discussion.
