Nigerian-American singer and dancer, Korra Obidi, has come under fire from Nigerians on social media following her announcement of a trip to Hawaii immediately after reaching a $50,000 milestone in her GoFundMe campaign.

Obidi initiated the fundraiser on Friday, aiming to secure $100,000 to afford legal representation in her custody battle against her ex-husband, Justin Dean, for their children.

Within days, over 950 donors contributed to the cause, enabling Obidi to raise half of her target.

However, the narrative took a negative turn when Obidi revealed during a live session on Facebook her plan for a vacation in Hawaii, sparking considerable outrage among her fans and donors.

Many accused her of misusing the funds meant for legal battles, with comments flooding social media platforms.

Wanda Johnson, a Facebook user, criticized Obidi’s actions, stating, “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.”

Chigoziri Ohochukwu expressed disappointment, commenting, “You are gradually becoming a professional beggar on social media.”

Calls for reporting the GoFundMe for a refund have also emerged.

In contrast, a few voiced support for Obidi, urging others to refrain from judgment.

Mary Monique Napont defended her, stating, “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. If you don’t like her, don’t follow her. It’s that simple.”

The controversy unfolds amid Obidi’s highly publicized divorce and custody battle with her ex-husband, which has seen accusations of abuse and “gaslighting” from Obidi towards Dean.
