Taxi driver refuses R$ 2,000 reward for returning Flamengo jersey

Influencer Kerolay Chaves, winner of Miss Bumbum Brasil 2025, recovered an autographed Lucas Paquetá Flamengo jersey after leaving it in a taxi. Chaves had publicly offered a reward of R$ 2,000 to anyone who could return the item.

The taxi driver located the jersey in a bag on the back seat after the trip ended. Because the passenger had boarded from the street, the driver had no contact information and only identified her after the situation gained traction on social media.

Upon meeting to return the item, the driver refused the R$ 2,000 reward. He reportedly declined the money due to his support for the rival club Vasco, stating, “I am a Vasco fan, I am not going to make money from Flamengo.” Chaves noted that the refusal made the recovery of the jersey even more meaningful.
