Angered by the actions of Korra Obidi, a prominent Nigerian-American dancer facing controversy, Nigerians on various social media platforms have criticized her for allegedly diverting the $50,000 target of her GoFundMe campaign towards a vacation in Hawaii, United States.
Recall that Obidi on Friday, created a GoFundMe with the sole aim of hiring a good lawyer who would help fight her case against her ex-husband, Justin Dean, over their kids.
Obidi aimed to hit $100,000 with the GoFundMe account but it generated over $50,000 raised from over 950 donors worldwide.
“As a mother, it’s time to fight for myself and my kids,” Obidi said, while also sharing her GoFundMe account details, seeking the assistance of fans and friends.
Making a shocking move, Korra made a U-turn after raising the money.
The mother of two on Sunday, said during a live session on Facebook that she had plans for a vacation in Hawaii.

Her decision garnered backlash from netizens as many hurled insults at her, with many alleging that the main intent of the GoFundMe was never to file a suit against the husband but to lavish on her extravagant lifestyle.
Below are some reactions:
Wanda Johnson, a Facebook user, said: “She got y’all’s money, now she’s at the airport. Some of you are too 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 opined.
“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 are sickening and people gave her $. Or whatever was on that go find me. People need to report the go fund everybody needs to report to get their money back,” a user who identifies as Jennifer Lynn Russell claimed.
Nene Peters stated: “WTF you were 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
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 done that in silence.”
Mary Monique Napont said: “It’s none of your business ladies. 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.”
Before the new development, recall that the divorce and custody battle between Obidi and Dean has been on the internet about their marital crisis.
Recent developments have granted Justin the right to restrict their two children from featuring on Obidi’s online content.
She also posted a plea online, accusing Dean of abuse and “gaslighting” during their marriage, claiming he is now subjecting their daughters to similar treatment.
