Nigerians on social media have started criticizing popular Nigerian-American singer and dancer, Korra Obidi, for going to Hawaii in the United States right after reaching her GoFundMe goal of $50,000.
Obidi set up a GoFundMe on Friday to find a good attorney, expressing her desire to challenge her ex-husband, Justin Dean's, custody rights over their children.
She stated that she needed funds for legal representation, which is why she initiated the GoFundMe to reach the $100,000 target.
The account garnered over $50,000 from more than 950 contributors worldwide.
“As a mother, it’s time to fight for myself and my kids,” Obidi mentioned. She also shared her GoFundMe account information, seeking the support of fans and friends.
However, after raising the funds, the dancer revealed during a live Facebook session on Sunday that she had plans for a holiday in Hawaii.
Her decision has sparked anger from her supporters, with many claiming that the primary aim of the GoFundMe was not to file a lawsuit against her husband but to fund her luxurious lifestyle.
Wanda Johnson, a Facebook user, commented, “She got y’all’s money, now she’s at the airport. Some of you are so weak to believe her foolishness. She is always begging, scamming, and manipulating.”
“You are gradually becoming a professional beggar on social media,” one Chigoziri Ohochukwu on Facebook expressed.
“Mad that she can’t post pictures because without posting pictures she can’t make money. She needs to post pictures of her kids to make money. But she would rather go to Hawaii than see.Her children sickening and people gave her $.Or whatever was on that go find me.People needs to report the go fund me everybody needs to report to get their money back,” a user who identifies as Jennifer Lynn Russell claimed.
Nene Peters stated, “WTF you was just on here crying about you need a lawyer now, you traveling. I’m done with you wow.”
“Two days ago she was crying for donation now she is traveling,” said Hermi Matilya
Meanwhile, Bridget O’Connell said, “Yeah I’m not gonna lie Traveling to Hawaii is crazy after receiving all that money for Lawyer girl! You shoulda did that in silence.”
Also, Mary Monique Napont said, “It’s none of your business lady. She is an influencer, performer, student, and most importantly a great mother. Leave her be. You are a part of the problem. She’s not hurting you in any way. If you don’t like her, don’t follow her. It’s that simple.”
Recall that the divorce and custody battle between Obidi and Dean has been on the public scene lately. Recent developments have granted Justin the right to restrict their two children from featuring on Obidi’s online content.
She posted a plea online, accusing Dean of abuse and “gaslighting” during their marriage, claiming he is now subjecting their daughters to similar treatment.
