Korra Obidi, the US-based Nigerian dancer, has attracted backlash on social media after announcing vacation plans to Hawaii — days after launching a GoFundMe account.
On Friday, Korra cried out for financial assistance to engage in a parental rights battle with Justin Dean, her ex-husband.
The entertainer claimed Dean obtained a court order prohibiting her from posting their two children on social media.
She initiated the GoFundMe campaign to cover the costs of challenging the court ruling and raised over $50,000 from over 950 donors worldwide.
On Sunday, during a Facebook live, the dancer announced that she was going to Hawaii for vacation, three days after she launched her campaign.
This however provoked a chorus of condemnation on social media platforms.
While many users accused Korra of scamming them, others slammed the people who donated money to her in the first place.

People that are angry about tithes willingly donated to Korra Obidi, but are crying that she used the money to go on vacation.
Don't worry, she will use out of the money to settle legal fees.

I don't think I know anyone or have any friends who donated to Korra Obidi after that fake "GoFundMe" campaign she did.
It's all those TikTok and Instagram people who do such nonsense.

BAT should consider Korra Obidi for the position of Minister of Finance. Her ability to sustain inflow is unparalleled.

And just like the Brick Lady,
Korra Obidi has once again used tears to finesse people into donating to her GoFundMe to “get a lawyer to fight her husband”. Cos she wants to use her kids for “family oriented content”.
Well, looks like she is going on Vacation with your $50,000 pic.twitter.com/5WICP6B3wy

This Korra Obidi lady, people actually donated 50k USD for her to win custody of her kids from a responsible father, because she wasn’t to use them for content on SM?
Everyday, our priorities as humans descends further and further.
Wokeness over common sense.
