Actor Zubby Michael of Nollywood has disputed colleague Timini Egbuson’s claims to be the greatest actor in Africa.
In the first episode of the original reality series “Ebuka Turns Up Africa” on Prime Video, the two got into a furious argument about who the greatest actor in Africa is.
Michael, a coworker, took offense when Egbuson boasted that he was the biggest actor from Africa when he was presenting gifts to other show stars.
“We had to perform this thing in the festivals, obviously being the best actor in Africa,” he stated, “and I was coming from Paris.I have received awards during my roughly 13 years of acting. I think I am the best because I have pretty much done it all.
“Stop f**king playing, he’s kidding,” Michael surmised. I’m the biggest actor in Africa, and I don’t say that with pride.
“Let me tell you why I’m bigger than Timini: even though nobody knows Shagamu, if Timini crosses him, I won’t abuse you,” he said. Your renown ends in Lekki, but mine has taken over the DVD, YouTube, and movie theater markets.
“You literally act the same character in every movie, my bro,” interrupted Timini. How are you able to outweigh me?
“Again, it’s not coming from a place of pride o, but I can buy Timini,” Michael responded.
Timini became enraged and responded by accusing Michael of not knowing enough about him to make such a claim.
