Nollywood actor Timini Egbuson recently made headlines when he claimed to be bigger than his colleague, Zubby Michael. The two actors engaged in a heated debate on the first episode of the Prime Video original reality show, ‘Ebuka Turns Up Africa’, where they discussed who the biggest actor in Africa is.
During an interview with Cool FM in Lagos, Egbuson, along with host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, reiterated his claim that he is the bigger actor compared to Michael. When asked by host Do2tun why he believed he was bigger than Zubby, Egbuson explained that his statement was not directed solely at Zubby, but rather a general assertion of his status as the biggest actor overall.
Egbuson confidently stated, “I speak my truth everywhere I go. I considered myself the biggest actor, not just bigger than Zubby, but bigger than everyone else. If we were to break it down statistically, in terms of the quality of movies, the range of movies, the number of movies, box office records, popularity among industry experts, and consistency, there is no way Zubby would score higher than me.”
The actor’s remarks have sparked a debate within the Nollywood community, with fans and industry insiders weighing in on who truly holds the title of the biggest actor in Africa. Egbuson’s bold claim has drawn both support and criticism, as some believe he has the talent and track record to back up his assertion, while others view it as mere bravado.
Regardless of the opinions surrounding his statement, Timini Egbuson remains a prominent figure in the Nigerian film industry, known for his versatile acting skills and memorable performances in various movies and TV shows. His acting credits include a wide range of roles that have showcased his talent and versatility as an actor.
On the other hand, Zubby Michael is also a well-known actor in Nollywood, with a solid fan base and a successful career in the industry. Known for his charismatic on-screen presence and commanding performances, Michael has carved out a niche for himself in the competitive world of Nigerian cinema.
As the debate continues over who deserves the title of the biggest actor in Africa, one thing is certain – both Timini Egbuson and Zubby Michael have made significant contributions to Nollywood and have solidified their places as two of the industry’s top talents. Whether Egbuson’s claim holds true or not, it is evident that both actors have left their mark on the Nigerian entertainment scene and will continue to captivate audiences with their acting prowess.
