I met a colleague while sharing flyers - Actor Deyemi on the most embarrassing moment of his life.

Nigerian actor Deyemi shares his experiences on his way to stardom, explaining his most embarrassing moment in life.

In an interview on the Echo Room podcast, the popular actor revealed that he left his mother's company and moved out of his family home only to realized he had nothing and had to start from scratch.

He said "It was difficult to even try… you know how Nigerian business is, some parents, they don’t really listen to the kids that work with them. So I got up, I packed my bag, and told my mother I am resigning and I’m leaving the house, and I had nothing. That was when I realized I actually had nothing in the world".

He recalled how he used to share flyers on the streets of Lagos, just trying to make ends meet. This led to the most embarrassing moment of his life; running into an old friend from school while doing so.

"My job was sharing flyers on the street of Lagos. I was sharing flyers one day, one friend of mine from UNILAG drove past, packed, called me by nickname and was like what…"

"I said eyyy, you know, na hustle, na hustle. People ask me what’s the most embarrassing moment in my life, that was the most embarrassing moment in my life".

He also admitted that life wasn't easy after he left home and cut ties with his family.
He recalled watching people drive by in luxury cars, sparking a desire to own a brand-new vehicle of his own.

 Determined to make it a reality, he worked tirelessly, fueled by the question, 'When will I ever be able to afford a car?' This burning ambition eventually led him to purchase his first car, a brand-new ride.

The actor used the platform to encourage individuals who might be going through similar challenges. 

He said, "I was sharing flyers, watching people drive cars and I ended up with a brand new one, so I am convinced that you should never limit the size of your dreams to you present reality, dream big, it costs you nothing".
