Zubby Michael, the Nollywood actor, has challenged the assertions made by his peer, Timini Egbuson, regarding being the foremost actor in Africa.
In a spirited exchange during the inaugural episode of the Prime Video original reality series, ‘Ebuka Turns Up Africa,’ Egbuson confidently claimed the title of the biggest actor in Africa while presenting gifts to fellow participants.
However, Zubby Michael strongly contested this declaration, expressing his disagreement with his colleague’s statement.
He said, “I was coming from Paris and we had to do this thing in the festivals, obviously being the best actor in Africa…I have been acting for about 13 years now and I’ve won awards. I’ve done everything basically and I believe I am the best.”
Michael inferred, “Stop f**king playing, he’s kidding. It’s not coming from a place of pride but I’m the biggest actor in Africa.”
He continued, “Let me tell you why I’m bigger than Timini, if Timini crosses Shagamu, nobody knows him and I’m not abusing you. Your fame ends in Lekki but I’ve conquered the YouTube market, the DVD market, and now cinemas.”
Timini Interjected saying, “You literally act the same character in every movie my bro. How can you be bigger than me?”
To which Michael said, “Again, it’s not coming from a place of pride o, but I can buy Timini.”
Enraged, Timini retorted, telling Michael that he did not know enough about him to make such a statement.
