In a recent interview on Cool FM Lagos, Nollywood actor Timini Egbuson asserted his stance on being a bigger name in the industry compared to his colleague, Zubby Michael.
This declaration follows a heated exchange between the two actors on the inaugural episode of the Prime Video original reality series, ‘Ebuka Turns Up Africa’, where they debated over the title of the biggest actor in Africa.
Egbuson, joined by Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, emphasized his superiority based on factors such as the quality of his films, box office success, and recognition among industry insiders.
The host, Do2tun asked, “Why do you think you’re a bigger actor than Zubby?”
Egbuson replied, “If you watched the show, what you will first realise is that I wasn’t talking about Zubby. I speak my sh*t everytime and everywhere I go. I considered myself the biggest actor, it wasn’t about than Zubby. It’s about bigger than everybody else.
“So, Zubby took it personal which is obvious, because he is also an actor that thinks he is big.
“But if we now decide to break it down statistically, in terms of the quality of movies that we shoot, the range of movies that we shoot, the number of movies that we’ve shot, the box office record, popularity among industry experts and consistency. If you put them together, there is no way that Zubby would score higher than me.”
