In an X shared clip that has now seen 2.1 million times, Orji asks bananas if any of the women on stage was their “type.”
“Let’s start with the Tots,” Bananas replies as he begins to inspect the feet of women stopped on stage by his side. He would be there to comment on his feet one by one, noting that some of them had “beautiful fingers”, until he reached a contestant.
“It seems that you sleep from a tree backwards,” he says.
The comment immediately gained groans and surprised the reactions of the audience and the cast.
“Me? Oh, you don’t want the smoke of me, Johnny,” she replies. “Was he talking about me?”
Orji did not approach the comment during the live broadcast. Instead, she asked her how “feet fingers” would help him “build a house” before sending it quickly to the backstage.

Bananas denied responsibility and Insead blamed a marketing agency that managed its social networks to promote its cryptocurrency, $ bananas. The reality star said he was “firmly considering” taking legal measures against the company at that time.
He called it a “poorly advised movement”, noting that emojis have a different meaning in the “cryptographic world.”
“I don’t take this situation lightly,” he said Variety. “As soon as they informed me of what happened, I contacted Taylor because my main concern was to make sure that I was as clear as there could … I wanted to make sure I knew the truth.”
Hale said that “he did not believe that the intention of the tweet was racist,” but that he touched the problem with the delay in her response, which led her to receive a “influx of messages from her fandom say that I look at a manly gorilla, a racist trope again.”
