Egbuson initially sparked the discussion by boasting about his status as the biggest actor out of Africa while distributing gifts to other stars on the show.

According to Michael, his reach goes beyond the confines of Lekki, unlike Timini.
The debate escalated as Timini challenged Michael’s assertion, accusing him of portraying the same character in every movie. Michael fired back, suggesting that he could easily purchase Timini, further intensifying the tension between the two actors.
The disagreement revealed underlying tensions and egos within the Nollywood industry. Both actors stood their ground, each claiming supremacy in the African acting scene. While Egbuson highlighted his international exposure and accomplishments, Michael emphasized his widespread impact and dominance across various entertainment mediums.
