A woman, believed to be the man’s partner, could be heard shouting in the background:
“Don’t injure my husband!”
The resurfaced video has sparked fresh outrage among fans and critics, with many accusing Zubby of having a long history of aggressive behaviour during filming.
The clip re-emerged online just as news broke that Godwin Nnadiekwe had been rushed to the hospital after sustaining internal injuries from an alleged kick to the chest by Zubby while acting out a scene that reportedly required no physical contact.
In an official statement released by Nnadiekwe’s management on Saturday, it was confirmed that the actor is receiving treatment for internal bleeding and that the incident has been reported to the Actors Guild of Nigeria.
Social media has since erupted with mixed reactions. Some users believe Zubby’s intensity on set may be getting out of hand, while others are urging Nollywood authorities to step in.

Zubby Micheal clashes with Isbea U
TheTalk.NG reported that a shocking yet somewhat amusing video has emerged online, showing Zubby Michael clashing with comedian Isbae U during an episode of his show, On Curiosity Made Me Ask.
The altercation took place amid a tense discussion, leading Zubby to lose his temper with Isbae U .
As usual, Isbae U invited Zubby to his show and bombarded him with provocative questions. One of the questions was why Zubby doesn’t take part in real-life armed robberies rather than just portraying them in his films.
