TIMINI EGBUSON: So the thing about it is if you watch the show, I wasn’t talking about Zubby. I speak my shit everytime everywhere I go. I consider myself the biggest actor. It wasn’t about bigger than Zubby, it was about bigger than everybody else. Do you understand? So Zubby took it personal which is obvious because he’s also an actor that thinks that he’s big. At the end of the day, what really matters is that we’re all sha still feeding our families. But if we now decide to now break it down
statistically speaking in terms of (1) the qualities of movies that we shoot, (2) the range of movies that we shoot, (3) the number of movies that we’ve shot, (4) the box office records, (5) popularity among the industry experts and people that are actually moving the industry forward, and (6) years of relevance and (7) years of consistency. If we put them together, there’s no way that Zubby will score higher than me. 100 percent.
I’m also just going to say I’m a very big fan of Zubby. 100 percent. Like I support his work, I’m on his page, I am awed by the way he carries his brand. Another thing is that what I’m fighting for is actors on the map in general. There’s not a lot of us that are actually living like celebrities and living like superstars and making this thing look as glamorous as it should be. Because everywhere else in the world, it’s music and acting. Before this whole Zubby/Timini thing, when last did you hear actors disturbing social media for a number of days? Zubby has that star power, you can’t take that away from him.
