I would rather be rich than famous – Ebuka Obi-Uchendu

BBNaija host and netizen favorite, Ebuka Obi- Uchendu, speak about not being a fan of fame but dealing with it due to the nature of his job.

Ebuka stated this in a segment of channel’s TV show ‘Rubbin Minds’ which he hosted alongside ExBBNaija’s housemates, Beauty Tukura and Prince Nelson.

In his words, “I have never been a fan of fame. And if you know me, I think you can tell. But I have also understood that it comes with what I do. I have never courted fame. I have never chased fame. I have never really sort of thrived in it. I’m not the kind of guy who is going to put our things out to be talked about. So, most times if you see me being talked about, it’s because of my work. It’s not because I did something outside of my work.”

He also went on to explain that, even though he enjoyed the perks of being famous from time to time if given an opportunity he would take the career and the money that comes with it and not the fame.

“I don’t know that I enjoyed fame or I have ever really liked it that much. I mean, it comes with its benefits, I can never deny that. But I also understand that it is a necessary evil that comes with having a career that is public. But if you left me with an option, I would take the career with the money that is coming with it and not be famous.”
