A Ghanaian, who spotted her at the eatery, took unpermitted photos of Kyeiwaa and circulated it on social media.

Rather than be ashamed, the actress said it is proof she is not lazing around in the foreign country, and she is on the right path to making some hard currency.

According to her, the salary she receives from the eatery is more than she received as a renowned actress in Ghana.

“Some colleague actresses brought out my videos to shame me that I am now a banku seller, do you think it is easy to even land such a job? People held shows just to mock me. Do you know my salary? Can you compare it to the eatery I manage now?
