Actor Bucci Franklin has shared a heartwarming video of himself with fellow actor William Benson, highlighting a cordial moment between the two outside of work.
In the video posted on Instagram on Wednesday, William is seen visiting Bucci. The duo shared a warm hug and exchanged playful gestures, suggesting a strong bond off-screen. The video carried an inscription that read, “When loyalty and betrayal link up.”
The caption is a nod to their roles in the newly released Netflix series To Kill a Monkey, referencing the dynamic between their characters: Oboz, played by Bucci, who was loyal, and Efemini, played by William, who ultimately betrayed him.
Bucci accompanied the clip with the caption: “Brotherlyyyyy!”
“Brotherlyyyyy” is a slang expression frequently used in the show, while the hashtags further reference the series and their characters.
To Kill a Monkey, which premiered on Netflix on July 18, was created, written and directed by King of Boys filmmaker Kemi Adetiba. The eight-episode crime thriller follows Efemini, a man driven to cybercrime by desperation and Oboz, the friend who lures him in. The series explores themes of loyalty, betrayal and survival in Lagos’ gritty underworld.
The show stars Bucci Franklin, William Benson, Chidi Mokeme, Toni Tones, Lilian Afegbai and Bimbo Akintola.
Since its debut, To Kill a Monkey has sparked conversations online, with fans applauding the performances and gritty storytelling.
