Popular Nigerian comedian Basketmouth has shared his thoughts on the recent clash between social media critic VeryDarkMan and comedian Mr Jollof.
According to DAILY POST, the two men were detained by the Delta State Police Command on Monday, November 17, 2025, after getting into a physical altercation aboard a United Nigerian Airlines flight.
In a video posted on his Instagram, Basketmouth called the incident “embarrassing.” Reflecting on his own long-standing rivalry with fellow comedian AY Makun, he remarked, “It never got to the point where we exchanged punches.”
Encouraging harmony and understanding among people, Basketmouth questioned how conflicts escalate to such extremes. He said, “I watched the video of Mr Jollof and VDM fighting in a public spaceinside a plane, of all places. Even with limited space, these grown men still ended up in a fight. And I asked myself, how did we get here? Me and AY have had issues for a long time, but it never reached the point of throwing punches. How embarrassing is this? Why can’t we just live in peace?”
The tension between the two arose after VeryDarkMan accused Mr Jollof’s wife of engaging in relationships with politicians and Yahoo boys to help her husband secure a political role in Delta State. Following these claims, the couple filed a N500 million defamation suit against VeryDarkMan.
