She questioned the expectations placed on her by strangers online, expressing disbelief at the volume of demands she receives daily.

“Some of you even bully me for making content to make sales for my brands as if you know what it takes to create content that converts,” she wrote.

The actress further criticised individuals who ignore her business content but quickly reach out when they need financial help.

Martins stressed that she is not responsible for solving people’s financial challenges and urged users to stop flooding her inbox with requests for money.

“I’m even scared to open my dm because it’s filled with bills… ogini????” she added.

She also highlighted her charitable efforts, noting that she regularly cooks for homeless children using proceeds from her business, despite limited resources.

“There was never a time I told anyone I’m a messiah that offsets bills,” she said, adding that she receives little encouragement for her outreach work.

Martins concluded her message by urging the public to engage with her business content rather than only approaching her with financial requests.

“Patronise me mba, engage on my advert posts mba, share my advert posts mba… but when e reach to write essay on how u haven’t eaten in years u run enter my dm,” she said.

Her comments come amid broader conversations in the entertainment industry about rising economic hardship and increasing public dependency on celebrities for financial support.
