Acting Could Not Pay My Bills – Kyeiwaa

Renowned Ghanaian actress Rose Mensah, widely known as Kyeiwaa, has disclosed that financial hardships in her home country compelled her to relocate to the United States. In a social media update, the veteran actress explained that her acting career did not yield enough income to maintain her desired lifestyle. Kyeiwaa recounted the embarrassment she experienced when her movies continued to air on television screens while she was forced to commute via public transportation, such as trotro vehicles.

This humiliating incident further fueled her decision to seek greener pastures abroad in search of better opportunities. She was prepared to take on any job, regardless of its demanding nature, rather than remain unemployed and destitute. Upon moving to the United States, Kyeiwaa endured various challenging jobs, including carrying salt and cleaning chicken coops, to make ends meet.

However, she faced criticism and ridicule from some individuals on social media, who questioned why an established actress would engage in such jobs. Kyeiwaa emphasized that her work ethic was focused on earning an honest living and improving her financial situation. She clarified that the criticism failed to acknowledge that these jobs provided her with a steady income, which was a stark contrast to her struggles as an actor in Ghana.

The actress expressed her hope that the public would refrain from judging people based on their occupation, stressing that fame and professional status do not guarantee financial stability. Kyeiwaa firmly maintained that her relocation was driven by the necessity to survive and build a better life, rather than any sense of shame.
