Basketmouth regrets rape joke
Seasoned comedian, Basketmouth has apologised for
his joke on rape, which was posted on his Facebook
page on Saturday. The said joke compared justified
why black girls get raped.

According to Basketmouth, it takes only two
earlier dates to have sex with white girls without
spending much on them, while for black girls, even
after having eight dates and spending huge amount
of money on them for shopping and others, a man
will still not be able to have sex with them. He
then wrote that the frustrated man will be left
with no option than to rape the lady in the ninth
date.

After receiving criticisms for the joke from
across the continent, the comedian later posted an
apology on his twitter page on Sunday. He
disclosed that his joke was misunderstood and
stated that he will never support rape.

He said, "ok guys, I’m sorry about the rape
joke. I won’t crack such jokes again.

“I have a daughter, wife, sisters and a mother I
will give my life to protect. Anything done for a
woman is less than they deserve for their roles in
our lives.

“I would never in a thousand lifetime encourage
rape, the joke was clearly misunderstood and have
been found offensive.

“To all the women that make our lives colourful,
the ones we literally owe our lives to, I
apologise for the joke. It wasn’t meant that way
by a long shot. God bless you all."
