The red hyper giant W Cephia A

Size, mass and luminosity estimates are all considerably uncertain due to insufficient knowledge of the Cephei star system: Professor Kaler writes "in truth we really do not know". Its distance cannot be measured from parallax, instead it is derived from its assumed membership in the Cepheus OB2 association, but this is also not certain. Other methods give a range of sizes between 1000 and 2200 that of the Sun, but these too are confounded by the fact that the star is not spherical, which leads to overestimates.

Which star is bigger VV Cephei A or VY Canis Majoris?

VY Canis Majoris is probably bigger. VV Cephei A is between 800 and 950 times the diameter of our sun. VY Canis Majoris is 900 to 1050 times the diameter of our sun. As you can see, there is some overlap in the numbers, so it is possible VV Cephei A is actually the larger star, though more likely VY Canis Majoris is the biggest.Also if u see a video of biggest star it is shown that VV cephei A is actually smaller than Vy canis majoris
