Yoruba Nollywood Actor, Femi Brainard, has opened up about his experience living as an immigrant in the United States.
In the latest episode of the Teju Babyface podcast, the 53 year old actor spoke about doing menial jobs in the States including working as a cab driver.
The actor said that at some point he was broke, which he added was painful because he had convinced his wife to relocate abroad with him, a move he said she didn’t agree with.
“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 recognise,” he said during the interview.
“America does not recognise your stardom, nor does it respect your celebrity,” he added.
