Disney Channel alum Skai Jackson has been dragged by the internet for demanding that fans send her $5 for the 'chance to win a MacBook' in an online raffle.

Skai has been acting in a variety of Disney projects since 2011 and is best known for her portrayal of Zuri Ross on the Disney Channel sitcom Jessie.

She has also lent her voice to short films and specials for Marvel Rising on Disney+ and appeared in the Halloween special Muppets Haunted Mansion, based on the Haunted Mansion ride at Disneyland.

After all those TV appearances, fans were surprised the 21-year-old actor was asking for a $5 entry fee for an online raffle she was running over Instagram.

She was absolutely roasted by some fans, with one writing: "The Disney money has run out."

Another said: "Skai Jackson is on TikTok live telling children to send her $5 to her cashapp for a chance to win a MacBook.

"She claims she doesn’t need the money, so then why is she charging for entry? This not weird to y'all?"

A third shared the same sentiment: "Girl, bye! If you were 'fine' and 'didn’t need money,' you would give a MacBook to a fan for FREE! Those don’t cost much especially an air. @skaijackson do better instead of trying to cash in on your fans!"

Following the criticism, Jackson clapped back at her outraged fans.

Skai said: "It is not that serious for a damn $5. It is called a raffle."

She continued to rant: "I don’t know if you guys have been to school before, but I know I’ve been to school and we used to have raffles all the time.

"You might get five, you put in $5, $2, whatever, and you get a prize. Like, people do raffles all the time."

As questions poured in from her viewers, she declared: "Yes, the money goes towards the prize, and then like I said, if there’s anything left over, I’m doing a second giveaway soon.

"So that’s what it’s going towards. I do not need money. Me personally, I do not need money."

She then doubled down: "And I’m not saying this like I’m a – in a bragging way or anything like that, or in a mean way. I’m just letting you guys know, I do not personally need money. Like I am very fine in my life. I don’t need, I don’t need money."

Jackson shared on her Instagram story that a winner for the MacBook has now been selected.
