Zubby Michael, a popular Nollywood actor, made headlines recently when he attended the funeral of his colleague Junior Pope with a significant security presence. Junior Pope, whose real name was Pope Obumneme Odonwodo, tragically passed away in a boat accident along with several crew members on April 10, 2024.
Initially, Zubby Michael faced criticism for not publicly mourning Junior Pope on social media, especially considering their close friendship and Zubby's role as the best man at Junior Pope's wedding. His continued social media activity, which included unrelated posts, drew backlash from fans and colleagues who felt he was being insensitive during a time of mourning.
However, Zubby Michael did eventually post a heartfelt tribute to Junior Pope, expressing the difficulty he faced in coming to terms with the loss. His tribute was met with mixed reactions, with some appreciating his timing and personal approach to grief, while others continued to criticize him for the delay.
In a video captured online, Zubby Michael, who was believed to have had a fallen out with the late actor before his death, was seen at his funeral with heavy security.
The actor, alongside E-Money, KCee, Destiny Etiko, Queen Wokoma, Ruby Ojiakor, Rita Edochie, and Chinwe Owoh, were among those spotted at the funeral.
