Femi Brainard, a seasoned actor from Nollywood, has opened up about his life after transitioning from the limelight of the entertainment industry to a new beginning overseas.
In a candid conversation with Teju Babyface, Brainard shared that despite his fame, he resorted to driving as a means to support his family in the United States.
During the interview, he spoke about the realities he faced post-entertainment career.
He reflected on the pros and cons of moving abroad, expressing that, “As a celebrity, it’s preferable to be a prominent figure in Nigeria than to travel abroad and become unrecognized.
“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.”
