Korra Obidi travels to Hawaii for vacation after fans donated $50,000 for legal fee

Nigerians on social media are buzzing with criticism aimed at popular Nigerian-American singer and dancer, Korra Obidi, following her swift trip to Hawaii shortly after hitting her $50,000 GoFundMe target.

Obidi’s GoFundMe campaign, launched to finance legal fees in a custody battle against her ex-husband, Justin Dean, sparked initial sympathy. However, sentiments quickly shifted as she announced her vacation plans, leaving many questioning her intentions.

The dancer’s plea for financial aid to secure legal representation resonated with supporters, amassing over $50,000 from nearly a thousand donors worldwide. Yet, Obidi’s abrupt departure for a Hawaiian getaway raised eyebrows, with accusations surfacing that her motives were more aligned with personal indulgence than legal pursuits.

Outraged fans took to social media to voice their discontent, accusing Obidi of exploiting their generosity for self-serving ends. Criticism poured in, with some labeling her a “professional beggar” and others expressing disappointment at her apparent disregard for the cause she championed just days prior.

Despite the backlash, some defended Obidi, emphasizing her multifaceted roles as an influencer, performer, student, and above all, a devoted mother. They urged detractors to respect her choices and privacy, arguing that her actions were not inherently harmful.

The saga adds another layer of complexity to Obidi’s highly publicized divorce and custody battle with Dean, where recent legal developments have further strained their relationship. Obidi’s claims of abuse and concerns over her children’s well-being continue to fuel the ongoing narrative surrounding their tumultuous separation.
