“America No Send Your Celebrity Level” – Actor Femi Brainard Confirms Being Uber Driver Abroad

Femi Brainard, a veteran Nollywood actor, has spoken about his struggle after leaving the entertainment industry to go overseas.

In his most recent interview with Teju Babyface, the actor said that, despite his star status, he had to take up driving to support his family in America.

Brainard shared this when discussing his experiences after quitting the entertainment industry.

Reflecting on the benefits and drawbacks of migrating overseas, he stated: “As a celebrity, it is preferable to be a big person in Nigeria than to migrate abroad and go unnoticed.

“I became a cab driver in America just to put food on the table. Whenever people see me, especially Nigerian passengers, they often stare at me in disbelief, wondering if I’m indeed the familiar star they recognize.

“America does not recognize your stardom, nor does it respect your celebrity.”
