  • Ace Nollywood actor Deyemi Okanlawon recently sparked emotions online with a comment he shared online The movie star had put a tweet noting that there are many famous people who are actually not as wealthy as the public would want to believe, instead they’re broke Deyemi made this comment during a conversation on Twitter with a tweep who said he thought fame brings the big bags for entertainers

Rather, most of the time, his target is to be the highest earner. This comment sparked a reaction from a tweep, who said he thought once you’re famous it automatically brings wealth.

Deyemi Okanlawon responded, to the netizen, noting that there are a lot of famous personalities and entertainers that are actually broke.

He further explained that fame is a by-product instead what brings the big bag (money) is actually talent and hard work, while also noting that work strategy and work ethic are very important .
