Popular Nollywood thespian, Zubby Michael has disagreed with his colleague, Timini Egbuson after the latter claimed he is the biggest actor in Africa.
It all started when Egbuson bragged about being the biggest actor out of the African continent while handing gifts to fellow stars on the first episode of the Prime Video original reality show, ‘Ebuka Turns Up Africa.’
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.”
Reacting, Zubby Michael, who seemed unpleased with his statement countered his claim saying, “Stop f**king playing, he’s kidding. It’s not coming from a place of pride but I’m the biggest actor in Africa.”

Responding to the claims, Timini Interjected arguing, “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.”
