Timini Egbuson’s response highlights a common frustration among celebrities—being used as a reference point to promote others. His statement suggests he’s aware of PR tactics in the industry and prefers to focus on his own work rather than be drawn into unnecessary comparisons.
On his X handle, he wrote: “I can smell a PR campaign from a mile away, and tbh, it’s getting boring. Push your fave in peace and leave my name out of the conversations. I’ve found my tribe, and they love my work. 15 years strong.”
His career longevity and strong fanbase speak for themselves, but his past social media clashes—especially with Zubby Michael and the iPhone controversy—show that he isn’t afraid to speak his mind, even if it stirs reactions.
Do you think his approach to addressing these issues publicly helps maintain his brand, or does it invite more controversy?
