Last month, Maya sat down on The Chunkz Show with social media star and long-time friend Chunkz to talk about all things friendship and life.
Chunkz is a member of Beta Squad, a rival YouTube collective.
Sidemen are also a group of British YouTube stars who have amassed over 22 million followers on the platform alone.
The group was formed in 2013 when they filmed themselves playing video games.
It's made up of Josh Bradley, Simon Minter, Tobi Brown, KSI, Ethan Payne, Vikram Barn and Harry Lewis.
During the podcast Maya was asked which group she prefers, to which she replied: 'It's a very clear Beta Squad for me. I'm way closer with them lot.
'I get on with Tobi and I get on with KSI but I don't really know the rest of them And they're like…'
'Not your kind of people,' Chunkz interjected.
She continued: 'Like you said, private school, different upbringing to us. No offence, they smashed it well done from being rich."
Maya Jama hits back at Love Island fix rumours as she defends producers
What may have been a throwaway comment did not sit well with the group who quickly responded on their own podcast.
Speaking about the incident, KSI said: 'Let's talk about the Maya Jama stuff then.'
Before member Ethan Payne interjected: ''Congrats on making it from being rich'. Shut up! You've never uttered a word to me!'
Opening up about his background revealing that his father was involved with drugs and that he had once sold them, he chimed: 'Don't just assume!'
'There's a lot of that in this industry,' KSI added.
Ethan continued: 'If I had her number I would have said, do you know what? Keep it respectful, but f*** you aswell."
KSI then confirms that only him and Simon Minter came from a private school background but revealed his own parents had to work 'two three jobs' to keep him there.
"We still worked so hard to get into this position, it's not like we just magically got here," he added.
It seems Maya was not having any of it and quickly took to TikTok comments to defend herself.
She penned: "As people who talk on podcasts, you should know more than anyone about context! Why are you rattled,"
"I was asked who I preferred and CLEARLY said I don't know you, I only mentioned private school because Chunks did earlier and I said 'congratulations on being rich' not coming from money".
Sending a stern warning to Ethan, she finished her comment with: "Mind how you're talking though Ethan."

Lions star's wife gives birth in back of a car hours before Australia Test
Lions star's wife gives birth in back of a car hours before Australia Test Lions and Ireland star Bundee Aki says his wife called him from a car on the way to hospital hours before he faced the Wallabies Bundee Aki (centre) says he is looking forward to meeting his new-born child (Image:) Lions centre Bundee Aki has revealed that his wife gave birth on the day of the first Test in Brisbane - with the Ireland international yet to meet his new-born daughter. Aki, who featured in all three Tests for the British and Irish Lions here in Australia, was on the bench for the first Test in Brisbane. However, following the third Test defeat in Sydney, Aki revealed that he recently welcomed a fifth child - although he's yet to see his newest daughter. "I want to enjoy my break, my family time," said the 35-year-old as he reflected on the end of a long Lions tour. "I haven't seen my family for eight weeks. "I have a new-born child who I haven't met yet. She was born when we were playing in Brisbane, so I haven't met her. "Her name is Aine, so I'm looking forward to going and meeting my new-born child and we'll go from there." Aki and his wife have a simple theme when it comes to naming their children, with Aine joining Armani-Jade, Adrianna, Andronicus and Ailbhe. Article continues below "All my kids start with A," he added. "So my wife loved the name Aine. That's five As in the family." When asked if it had been difficult not seeing his new-born daughter and the rest of his family, Aki ultimately told the remarkable story of how his wife gave birth in New Zealand on the same day he was facing the Wallabies. Sign up to Inside Welsh rugby on Substack to get exclusive news stories and insight from behind the scenes in Welsh rugby. "Credit to my wife," he said. "She's a powerful woman, a strong woman. "I have to say it to her. If you only knew the story of what happened, it's a funny story in itself. It was a good day. "I was in the hotel. I knew we were overdue. The missus calls me and she's like, 'Water hasn't broke but I'm going to the hospital, I'm feeling contractions.' "I go, 'Yeah, fair enough.' She goes to the hospital, we're getting ready for the team meeting pre-match, and then she calls me and says she's on the way to the hospital, so I said, 'Fine, be safe.' "Five minutes later, she sends a photo, her water broke. I was like, 'Cool, OK, are you almost there?' This is like 30 or 40 minutes away from the hospital, so I said, 'You'll be all right, Mum is there.' "Ten minutes later, she video calls me and I was like, 'S**t, what's going on?' I saw a baby on the video call, so she had it in the car on the way to the hospital. They're both strong and healthy, so happy days. "In New Zealand, yeah. So happy days." Article continues below Given the nature of the day, it might have been difficult for Aki to focus on the rugby, but the centre admitted he had no issue getting on with the task of taking on Australia at Suncorp Stadium. "I knew it was good Juju, I knew it was good Juju," he said. "So I knew we were going to have a good day."

Hollywood star issues sweet message as Welsh festival begins
Hollywood star issues sweet message as Welsh festival begins It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia actor Rob McElhenney was seen in a short clip practising his Welsh words and phrases Well-known Hollywood actor Rob McElhenney has welcomed the National Eisteddfod 2025 - all in Welsh. The It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia actor, who is also the co-owner of Wrexham AFC alongside fellow Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds, was seen in a short clip practising his Welsh words and phrases as the cultural festival kickstarts this weekend. The American actor was aided by Maxine Hughes, a Welsh journalist from Conwy who now lives in Washington D.C. The journalist has been helping both McElhenney and Reynolds with learning Welsh since they took over the north Wales club in 2020. At the start of the short clip, Maxine begins: "Ok, let's do: 'Croeso i'r Eisteddfod yn Wrecsam', which I know you can do this because we've done the 'croeso' many times before". Rob then repeats 'Croeso i'r Eisteddfod yn Wrecsam' in near perfect Welsh, but as Maxine points out the 'y' in the word 'yn', which means 'in' in Welsh, has a distinctive sound. From superstar gigs to cosy pubs, find out What's On in Wales by signing up to our newsletter here . After a few attempts, Rob is able to pronounce the phrase as if he was from Wales. "You actually sounded like a proper Welsh person there because you called it 'Steddfod, which is what we call it. That was excellent." The two then go over 'Mae'r Eisteddfod yn dod i Wrecsam', which means that the 'Eisteddfod is coming to Wrexham'. By his second attempt, the comedian and actor has perfect pronunciation of the phrase and seemingly knows it as his smile beams. The sweet clip comes as the National Eisteddfod begins in the Welsh city on Saturday, August 2. The week-long cultural festival will take place at Is-y-Coed in Wrexham, the first time it has been held in the city since 2011. Journalist Maxine Hughes has helped the two actors - Ryan Reynolds (left) and Rob McElhenney (right) with learning Welsh over the years (Image: FX Networks/Youtube) In recent weeks, the farmland has been transformed into a small town with the 1,500 seat pavilion, an array of performance spaces and stalls and the Gorsedd circle. The National Eisteddfod is the largest cultural festival in Europe, held in a different part of Wales every year and aims to "promote, preserve and protect the heritage and culture of Wales". Article continues below And after successfully helping out Rob McElhenney with his Welsh phrases, Maxine Hughes will be heading back to her homeland for the special festival. She will address the audience as the leader of Wales and the World during the special event of Cymanfa Ganu (Singing Assembly) at the Eisteddfod on Sunday night, August 3. She will also take part in leading other sessions on the Maes (festival ground) during the week.

I wanted a lowkey wedding so didn't bother with a dress or cake, trolls say a broke uni party would look better
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A COUPLE who opted for a budget-friendly wedding shared the details of their savvy day. However, not everyone was a fan of the scrimping and saving, with some people comparing the occasion to a "broke uni party". Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 TikTok user Amie shared an insight into the various ways she and her husband saved on their wedding day Credit: tiktok/@amie_barron In a TikTok video that amassed over 200,000 views, Amie Barron (@amie_barron) broke down the steps she and her groom took to pinch pennies. With the average wedding costing £200,500, the pair made a conscious effort to cut down on various aspects. Amie joked that some of the extreme measures "would put people in a coma". Veering from tradition The bride decided to opt out of the wedding dress tradition, instead choosing a comfy everyday outfit. "We didn't dress up. We wore flannels, jeans, and boots," she said, sharing a picture with her husband from the big day. Amie and her bridal party also did their own hair and make up for the occasion. And the TikToker joked that she also took her shoes off "as soon as I said 'I do'." While the couple still forked out for a venue for the day, Amie explained that they saved by holding the ceremony and reception in the same room. And the venue in question was the party room at their local library. For the food, the couple decided to skip out on the "fancy meal and fancy cake". I was fuming when I found out the reason my family hadn't RSVP-ed to my wedding - now they're uninvited Amie shared an image of the simple cake they opted for instead, which featured a simple Mr. & Mrs. topper, showing the couple's love for video games and reading. And this passion for gaming also played a major part in the day as the couple went home early to play Fortnite. They did however enjoy some dancing to a playlist Amie made in advance, skipping out on the band or DJ debate. "We didn't want anything big or fancy," she explained, revealing the day went perfectly. However, TikTok users were not sold on the budget-friendly approach. Average cost of a wedding in 2025 Recent research by Hodge reveals the dream of getting married can come with a hefty price tag, reaching more than £20,000. Food - £6,000 Honeymoon - £4,329 Wedding outfits - £3,500 Entertainment - £2,000 Engagement ring - £1,948 Flowers - £1,110 Wedding ring - £1,000 Wedding transport - £700 Total = £20,587 Unimpressed reactions "Seen broke uni parties organised better," wrote one viewer. "Why bother? Just sign the paperwork," pointed out another follower. "Playing Fortnite after your wedding must be the saddest thing I've ever heard," commented a third person. More on weddings Another bride shared how her mother-in-law wore white to her wedding and excluded her from photos "in case it didn't work out". One woman was set on a three-course meal for her wedding but ended up with a fast food buffet of fried chicken. And a monstrosity of a wedding cake that still leaves the bride in tears after paying £300. Plus, tips on how to say no to being a bridesmaid without upsetting the bride. A mother-in-law was slammed by bride for wearing an identical wedding gown.
