Why I’m bigger than Zubby Michael in the film industry – Timini

Actor Timini Egbuson has defended his claim of being ‘the biggest actor in Africa’ by explaining why he believes his colleague, Zubby Michael, does not hold that title.
The Nation online reported that the duo engaged in a heated debate on the subject during the first episode of the Prime Video original reality show, ‘Ebuka Turns Up Africa.’

Speaking in a recent interview with Cool FM, Lagos, alongside Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, Egbuson emphasized his superiority over Michael in terms of the quality of movies, box office performance, and recognition among industry experts.

When asked by the host Do2tun why he believes he’s a bigger actor than Zubby, Egbuson said: “If you watched the show, what you will first realise is that I wasn’t talking about Zubby. I speak my sh*t every time and everywhere I go. I considered myself the biggest actor, it wasn’t about Zubby. It’s about bigger than everybody else.

“So, Zubby took it personally which is obvious, because he is also an actor who 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.”
