Basketmouth’s comparison of Biblical figures to support polygamy has stirred controversy online. By juxtaposing individuals with one wife who “lost their way” against those with multiple wives who “received favor from the Lord,” he implies a theological endorsement of polygamy. This interpretation of Biblical narratives has triggered strong reactions, with many questioning the validity of his assertions and the appropriateness of using scripture to justify personal beliefs. The post has ignited debate over the interpretation of religious texts and the responsibility of public figures when discussing sensitive topics like marriage and faith.
In his words: “According to the Holy Bible, Ahab – 1 wife Herod – 1 wife Ananias-1 wife Pontius Pilate – 1 wife Jeroboam – 1 wife Nebuchadnezzar. – 1 wife Haaman – 1 wife Zakayo – 1 wife. And they all lost their way and betrayed God.

“Abraham -3 wives Jacob – 4 wives David – 4 wives Solomon – 700 wives and 300 concubines Rehoboam – 18 wives Abijah – 14 wives Elkanah – 2 wives Lemech-2 wives eygiwa And they all found favour in the eyes of the Lord. Whatever you do with this information is none of my business… However u want to interpret it is your cup of tea but I will be comment session.”
