Hajia Bintu has finally cleared the air on the source of funds she used in purchasing her Mercedes-Benz GLC63.
The socialite and influencer revealed that contrary to popular opinion, she harnessed the power of social media and influencer marketing to buy herself the SUV.
Bintu, 24, shot to fame in 2021 after videos of her curvaceous backside went viral and stunned netizens. Before her fame, she worked as a waitress at the Peduase Valley Resort.
In a no holds barred conversation with Delores Frimpong-Manso on The Delay Show on TV3, the self-acclaimed slay queen said she had saved enough to purchase the almost $150,000 vehicle.
“I saved a lot from my influencer deals and instant ads on Snapchat,” she revealed.
The Tiktok star who currently lives in a $ 700-per-month apartment complex explained how she made money from instant ads.
“If I post Instant ads on snap and make 500 cedis, imagine posting 5 or 10 a day, multiplied by a week and a total it in the month and this just one category of ads,” she said
She also maintained that the car was hers and will not be captured by a second owner in the future.
“You know there have been times when people have said they own the car and later come out to say the real owner has come for it? We hope you won’t come and say the same,” Delay admonished
On the whereabouts of her Jaguar SUV, she intimated that she had swapped it to acquire the new Mercedes Benz.
