Social media erupted with mixed reactions to Zubby Michael’s video, with many wondering why he had not taken to his online platforms to mourn Jnr Pope.

Some argued that the actor might have been experiencing genuine sorrow and didn’t feel the need to express it publicly, while others doubted his friendship with the late Junior Pope.

Reacting via the comment section of an Instagram blog post, Angela asserted that Zubby can never post a condolence message for Junior Pope.

According to the thespian, everyone in Nollywood knows Zubby’s story with Junior Pope.
