Mama June’s daughter Pumpkin, 22, slammed for begging fans to send her CASH for husband’s birthday amid money troubles
MAMA June's daughter, Pumpkin, has received backlash for asking her followers to send her husband money for his birthday.
The reality star has been open about her money troubles, but she may have reached a new low with her fans.
Pumpkin, whose real name is Lauryn Efird, took to her Instagram Stories on Wednesday to make the cash request.
The 22-year-old shared a screenshot of her husband Josh Efird's cash app page and suggested that fans send him a monetary gift to celebrate his special day.
She wrote: "Today's @official_josh_efird birthday. For the ones who've asked to send him stuff. Here's his cash app."
The post circulated on social media, where users ripped apart the mom-of-four for "going too far."

An online thread erupted with comments as one wrote: "This begging needs to stop. We all have issues. This is going too far. I am in shock.!!!"
Another agreed: "It is disgusting how they all are on TT lives like they live on it constantly asking for money. They don't even make content. Just demand gifts. So gross."
A third person chimed in: "It’s starting to make me lose respect for pumpkin and josh etc bc they are acting just like her mom does and that’s pretty sad. Just at a loss for words the more I keep hearing this."
A fourth echoed the statement: "Sadly starting to like them less the more I see things like this."
A fifth added: "Eeeeew. How can people be so grabby. Its so tacky and gross. I'd be embarrassed to do that."
Pumpkin hasn't been shy about her financial struggles and has asked fans for help in the past.
Just days earlier, Pumpkin urged her followers to purchase videos from her Cameo account.
Each personalized video costs $60, according to her account.
BANKING ERROR
Fans were already aware of the TV star's money issues as she previously revealed her bank account was negative following a glitch that saw hundreds of dollars removed.
Pumpkin and her husband Josh recently welcomed their third and fourth children – twins – less than a year after their son Bentley's birth.
The TV star is also the legal guardian of her younger sister Alana.
The 16-year-old was removed from her mother, June "Mama June" Shannon's custody following a public battle with addiction, which led to an arrest.
But Pumpkin is struggling to provide for her expanded family.
FINANCIAL STRUGGLES
One family insider exclusively told The Sun just how tight the family's finances have gotten.
They claimed: "Pumpkin told June she didn't have any groceries in the house, and she told Pumpkin, 'Well you better get on TikTok and make some d**n money."
The source added incredulously: "Why would a mother even say something like that?!"
The Sun previously revealed that Josh and Pumpkin are renters at the previously estimated $71,000 Georgia home they share with their four children and her sister Alana.
In a statement to The Sun, Pumpkin claimed "that’s my home and I rent to own it."
She also added: "I’m doing very well financially... my kids and us have everything we need and want."
LOW PAYCHECK
While fans of the show Mama June: Road to Redemption assume the long-standing reality stars make a good living, in an interview with The Sun in May, June, 42, claimed, "What a lot of people don't realize that this filming doesn't pay what people think it does.
