Nigerian comedian Basketmouth has weighed in on the shocking mid-air brawl between comedian Mr Jollof and controversial social critic VeryDarkMan, condemning the altercation and calling for greater restraint among public figures.

 

The duo were filmed exchanging blows aboard a United Nigeria Airlines flight reportedly travelling from Asaba to Lagos, leaving passengers startled and sparking widespread online debate after the footage went viral.

 

Reacting in a video message, Basketmouth expressed disbelief that such a confrontation could occur inside an aircraft — a confined space where safety should be paramount. He compared the incident with his long-standing feud with fellow comedian Ayo Makun (AY), noting that despite their disagreement dragging on for years, it never descended into physical violence.

 

He questioned how entertainers and influencers had reached a point where disagreements escalate into fistfights, especially in a public setting that demands composure.

 

Basketmouth urged entertainers to settle disputes with maturity and prioritise peace, warning that such behaviour damages the industry’s image and sets a poor example for fans.

 

The viral incident continues to draw reactions from across the entertainment community, with many calling for sanctions and improved conflict management among celebrities.
