The mother of three asked her trolls whether they were awed that she was living in the US and working as a driver for a ride-hailing service.

She reiterated that she did not know why many people were acting surprised when she had already stated in a live video that when her driving licence status met the qualification threshold, she would apply for a job with a ride-hailing company.

"Did you expect me to be a toilet cleaner or a watchman? I told you that the minute I qualify for Uber, I am going to do it. But I do not know why all of you are acting like," she said.

Speaking about the benefits of being an Uber and Lyft driver, Afia Schwar noted that she gets time for influencing, and photo shoots for brands on top of what she gets driving people around.

"I am a proud Uber and Lyft driver in America. I got a 12-minute ride and was paid $34. Do you think I am playing over here? if it is hurting you, go and cry because I am very happy for myself."
