Talented Nollywood performer Deyemi Okanlawon has stated that not all well-known actors are wealthy; others are impoverished.
Deyemi tweeted some advice for performers, saying they shouldn’t always aim for the highest-paying roles or the highest-grossing films because they aren’t always indicative of a “large bag.”
The tweet by the actor got Twitter users wondering how fame does not equate to wealth. A user asked:
“I thought the fame brings the bag??”
Deyemi’s reply reads:
“There are lots of famous broke ppl… fame is a byproduct, it’s the talent and the grind (work strategy and work ethic) that brings the bag”
