A viral TikTok video showing rapper Hunxho’s father driving an Uber has ignited a conversation about the perception of regular 9 to 5 jobs in today’s generation. In an era dominated by influencers and social media stars, many in Gen Z and some millennials have shunned traditional jobs, favoring paths to fame that promise quick success and wealth.

The video led to criticism, with fans questioning why Hunxho’s father, given the rapper’s success, was working as an Uber driver. Hunxho addressed the issue, defending his father’s choice to work. “My pops his own man, he choose to do what he want to do. Was he around? No. I was raised by all women. Do I hold dat against him? No. Still bought him what he asked for, a new Cadillac truck, way before dat old a** video came out. I don’t owe nobody nun. I take care ALL my people.”

This incident raises questions about the stigma surrounding regular jobs in a world where going viral can lead to stardom. The conversation also touches on how many celebrity parents prefer to maintain their independence, with their identities rooted in their work ethic, separate from their children’s fame.

This isn’t the first time a celebrity’s transition to a regular job has made headlines. Geoffrey Owens, best known for his role on The Cosby Show, was spotted working at Trader Joe’s in 2018, prompting discussions about the unpredictability of an acting career. Similarly, Montell Jordan shifted from his music fame to become a worship leader, and Vanilla Ice found a second career in real estate.

These stories highlight that having a traditional job isn’t a sign of failure, but rather a choice or necessity, reinforcing the value of hard work in any form.
