Following a viral video of actor Zubby Michael handing bundles of cash to the grieving family of the late actor Junior Pope, Angela Okorie has publicly criticized him for the gesture.

On her Instagram Story on Monday, May 20, 2024, the actress accused Michael of staging the scene to record his charity, arguing that he could have given the money privately. She stated, "Zubby if you really wanted to give money to Junior Pope's family, you could have done it quietly, like I used to give you money discreetly. No one would know. You planted a camera to record yourself giving bundles of money to JP's family. We all know you for your propaganda. Just get out, please."

In another post, Okorie condemned the actor's "unnecessary showcase of money" and labeled him a "local boy." Her post read, "Zubby, a young person died. The showcase of money wasn't necessary, but as a local boy that you are, you lack sense. You don't know when to show off and when to behave appropriately. Do you have more money than all the dignitaries who attended? Fool."

Many social media users agreed with Okorie, expressing that Zubby should not have recorded his good deed.

An Instagram user commented, "Y’all are so blinded by ‘Zuby the star’ that no one is considering the message Angela is conveying. People are talking about irrelevant things like did he promise her marriage. Our problem is that we are too shortsighted and look at things superficially until it’s too late. For her to keep talking about this shows there is more to the story. But because it’s Zuby, everyone has taken his side. Smh."
