Korra Obidi: I paid half of my bride price, $50k to my ex to see my kids

Korra Obidi, the Nigerian dancer, has claimed she paid half of her bride price during her marriage to Justin Dean, her ex-husband. 

The entertainer took to her Facebook channel to also allege that she paid a sum of $50,000 to Justin for her to see her kids.

“I paid $50,000 to the person who took my child away from my arms. One week postpartum, I had to pay to see my children in America,” she said. 

“I was at my most vulnerable time. Who would have thought the person I was sleeping with, who was my husband, would strike me at my most vulnerable time? 

“Nobody gives me child’s support. And I needed to clear this out today because I have been seeing some nonsense news circulating. 

“I have never and will never lose custody of my children, so help me God.

“This is also to some of you who think Justin took me out of poverty. Is that what he is making you guys believe? Do you realise that I paid half of my own bride price? I was never poor. We met in Shanghai, China. We both found our way there separately. 

“I have toured basically almost every country in Africa and most countries in the Middle East before I met him.” 

Korra also pleaded with the media to stop talking about her divorce, saying “it’s been over a year.”

“The other day I was hearing that I had taken all his money. Can we just leave the divorce in the past please?” she added. 

The couple’s marriage crashed in March 2022.

A few weeks after their divorce, Obidi accused her husband of stealing $5000 from their joint account. 

In November, she also alleged that Justin demanded spousal support from her, adding that the American approached a court for full custody of their kids.
