Without any hesitation Adesope dove into the controversy to which Basketmouth responded “Definitely I am sorry about what happened. The people that it offended…I won’t say the people that misunderstood but the people that it offended. It’s no like I left Nigeria because of that, I already booked my ticket since three months ago. If I crack jokes about food, there are people in third world countries saying, ‘Why is he cracking jokes about food? I never chop na?’ They will just go on twitter and say ‘This guy should stop cracking jokes about food, I haven’t eaten’.”
He finally stated, “The truth about jokes is no matter what type of joke you crack there are people in the audience that won’t find it funny. People get offended for different reasons. Wale Gates was telling me about a joke he cracked about his wife and how someone was upset and said, ‘Why would you crack a joke about your wife.’ And he said ‘Look, she’s my wife. If anyone is going to be upset, can you let her be upset?’ And she heard the joke before and she wasn’t upset…..The only joke that people like that I’ve cracked right now is about me dying. I cracked a joke about my funeral and they loved it.”
Basketmouth also said his London show would go on as scheduled with him cracking his normal trademark jokes without hold back.
