In the video, Angela Okorie, known for her outspoken personality, expressed her frustration openly, saying she has grown tired of people in the industry copying her ideas and riding on her momentum.

She directed her sharpest words at Zubby Michael, questioning why he would allow an older film's working title to be replaced with hers.

"Zubby, even you accepted that kind of a thing. How dare you? You shot a movie. You have a working title, my friend. Why did you not use your working title to push your film?" she said.

The actress insisted that Queen of Guns had not been released on any platform, including YouTube, Netflix, or cinemas, and that her Manchester fanbase would be the first audience to see it before she takes it to other cities.
