Veteran Nollywood actor Femi Brainard recently shared insights into his life after relocating abroad, revealing that he had to become an Uber driver to support his family in America despite his celebrity status.
In a candid interview with Teju Babyface, Brainard discussed the challenges he faced after leaving the entertainment industry and moving overseas.
Reflecting on the differences between fame in Nigeria and abroad, Brainard expressed that being a well-known figure in Nigeria holds more value than being relatively unknown abroad.
He recounted his experience working as a cab driver in America, stressing how passengers, especially fellow Nigerians, often reacted with disbelief upon recognizing him.
According to Brainard, the American environment does not accord the same level of recognition and respect to celebrities as in Nigeria.
