CurrentReport Blog In a recent episode of the Prime Video original reality show, ‘Ebuka Turns Up Africa,’ Nollywood actors Zubby Michael and Timini Egbuson engaged in a fiery debate over the title of the biggest actor in Africa. The heated exchange arose when Egbuson boasted about his status as the preeminent actor out of Africa while presenting gifts to fellow stars on the show.
However, Zubby Michael swiftly challenged Egbuson’s assertion, asserting that he, in fact, holds the title of the biggest actor in Africa. Michael, who has garnered over 13 years of experience in the industry and secured numerous awards, confidently defended his claim by highlighting his extensive contributions to the African film industry.
During the debate, Michael emphasized his widespread influence beyond the confines of Nigeria’s entertainment hub, Lekki. He pointed out his success in various markets, including YouTube, DVD sales, and cinemas, as evidence of his dominance in the industry.
In response to Egbuson’s criticism regarding his repetitive character portrayals, Michael remained unfazed, maintaining that his versatility and impact on the industry far surpass that of his colleague.
The exchange took a contentious turn when Michael suggested that he could purchase Egbuson, further escalating the tension between the two actors. Egbuson, visibly incensed by Michael’s remarks, challenged him to reconsider his stance, emphasizing that Michael lacked sufficient knowledge about him to make such audacious claims.
