The former Big Brother Naija housemate, Maria Chike Benjamin,better known as Maria responded to the accusations by Cubana Chief Priest that her lifestyle is funded by a married man she is allegedly having an affair with.

Cubana had accused her of having an affair with his sister’s husband, Kelvin, and also threatened her.

In an interview posted on her Instagram page, Maria revealed that her lifestyle is not funded or sponsored by any man because she’s been working since her teenage years.

According to Maria, she has been working from the age of 16 and even had to take up two jobs even while schooling.

Her words:

“I have actually worked from the age of 16. I went to high school, I went to the university and I was working two jobs.

“So sometimes when people say ‘she got all of these from men’ or because ‘she’s pretty and gets expensive gifts” it gets me upset. Absolutely none of that,’‘ Maria said in the video interview.

Maria is yet to frontally react to Cubana Chief Priest’s latest accusations.
