Popular comedian, Basketmouth has been known to cross uncomfortable subject boundaries when it comes to making jokes but it appears the likable funny has taken it a bit too far when he posted a joke on Facebook about rape.

On the post which he has since deleted, the comedian attempted to make a comparison between dating an African girl and a white girl, an attempt which touched a nerve going by the ferocity of social media reactions to his post.
