Big Brother Naija reality show star, Neo Akpofure has disclosed that he used to be a taxi driver before fame.
The reality star stated this while recounting his humble beginning.
In a now controversial post on his official X, Neo shared a throwback picture.
The picture captures him with popular musician MC Galaxy sitting together while working as a Bolt driver in Calabar five years ago.
He added that the meeting with MC Galaxy evolved into a memorable evening that impacted him and changed his outlook on life.
“5 years ago today, I was still driving a bolt in Calabar when I picked up Mc Galaxy and his associate. He was craving bush meat and palm wine from somewhere called Atimbo. We enjoyed the meat and palm wine together before dropping them off at the airport.
“Fast forward to today, I look back and see how far I have come. If I had given up on my dreams then, na me for fuck up.”
DAILY POST reports that Neo rose to fame in 2020, after participating in the BBNaija reality show.
Since leaving the show, he has built a career as an actor, model, and social media influencer.
