However, Maria’s apparent rejection of money from fans comes after the reality TV star flaunted her Range Rover, wristwatch, and wads of cash on her Instagram story.
This sent a lot of people’s tongues wagging, with some speculating that the gift was from her sugar daddy in Dubai or that it was audio money.
A admirer of the reality star said Maria’s display of hard currency indicates why she rejected her followers’ money, according to multiple replies to the video, which has become a rising trend online.
Another Instagram user who appeared to be a fan of Maria verified that when they sent her a gift, she advised them to keep their money.

Maria Benjamin was accused of dating a married man and pressuring him to divorce his wife, according to reports.
Maria was cautioned to keep away from the married man by Instagram writer Gistlovers in a post uploaded on his page, and it would be messy for the reality star if the man served his wife with a divorce letter.
The message begins, “Dear Maria,
Please stay away from someone’s husband, Atutu poyoyo, because if that man gives his wife the divorce letter, e will go red for you, as I already stated.
I arrive in a peaceful manner.
Some social media users reacted angrily to the message, recalling Maria’s boasting about not dating a married guy, while others expressed displeasure, claiming it was too soon to be related to such tragic news.
Meanwhile, other internet users argue that the call out comes as no surprise, especially because Maria chose to pitch her tent with Mercy Eke, a past housemate who has been frequently chastised for dating married men.
