Nigerian Comedian Basketmouth Reacts To Mr Jollof Fight

Nigerian comedian Basketmouth has weighed in on the recent physical altercation between fellow comedians VeryDarkMan and Mr Jollof. The two men were detained by the Delta State Police Command on 17 November 2025 after a fight broke out on a United Nigerian aircraft. In a video posted to his Instagram page, Basketmouth called the incident “embarrassing” and urged the public to promote love and peace. He reflected on his own past feud with AY Makun, noting that their disagreement never escalated to physical violence, and questioned how the dispute between VeryDarkMan and Mr Jollof could have reached such a point.

The conflict began when VeryDarkMan 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, Mr Jollof and his wife filed a N500 million defamation lawsuit against VeryDarkMan. The recent fight on the aircraft has heightened concerns about the escalating nature of celebrity feuds in Nigeria.

Basketmouth’s comments underscore the need for peaceful resolution of differences rather than resorting to violence. As the situation continues to unfold, observers are watching closely to see how the parties will move forward. The incident has sparked a broader conversation about maintaining respectful and peaceful relationships, even amid disagreements. With the Nigerian entertainment industry under constant scrutiny for high‑profile feuds, the actions of figures like Basketmouth, VeryDarkMan and Mr Jollof remain a focal point for fans and the general public. As the industry grows, issues of conflict resolution and peaceful coexistence are likely to stay relevant topics of discussion.
