She said she had received some negative comments since announcing her new profession but was not fazed because she was not ashamed to be working for a living.

The former Onua FM presenter also explained how the process of being an Uber driver in the US worked.
She detailed how the registration process worked, contrasting it with the Ghanaian experience.

Nana Yaa Brefo laments Cowbell Coffee cost
In a video she shared on her official Facebook page on Sunday, March 22, 2026, Nana Yaa Brefo narrated her recent visit to a Ghanaian-owned store in the US for shopping after buying food in town.
The media personality noted that she purchased two small balls of kenkey for $5, which is equivalent to over GH₵50 in Ghana before deciding to buy some sachets of Cowbell Coffee.

She complained that she spent $30 on six sachets of Cowbell Coffee, which was more expensive than the cost of an entire strip of the same product in Ghana.
She said:
"I was on my way home after buying my kenkey when I began craving Cowbell Coffee. I hadn't drunk some in a long time. I also didn't bring some when I was coming to the US because I wanted to reduce my coffee intake."
"This normal Cowbell Coffee, I don't know how much you buy it for in Ghana, but I think one strip is GH₵35 or GH₵40 at most. For just six pieces, you cannot imagine how much I bought it for."
"I bought it for $30. Just six pieces. That means one piece is $5. One Cowbell Coffee is $50, that is GH₵50."
Nana Yaa noted that she had decided to ship a bag of the coffee product made by Promasidor Ghana Limited to the country and sell it and make a profit.
She shared a receipt of her purchase to prove that her story was untrue and detailed her reaction after buying the product.
