Korra Obidi, a popular Nigerian-American singer and dancer, has sparked outrage after announcing plans for a vacation in Hawaii shortly after raising $50,000 through a GoFundMe campaign aimed at covering legal fees.
Initially, Obidi launched the GoFundMe campaign seeking financial support to hire a good lawyer in her ongoing legal battle with her ex-husband over custody of their children. She emphasized her need to fight for her rights as a mother.
However, after successfully reaching half of her $100,000 target, Obidi surprised many by revealing during a Facebook live session that she intended to use some of the funds for a vacation in Hawaii.
This revelation has drawn criticism from her fans, who now question the sincerity of her initial fundraising efforts. Many accuse Obidi of using the campaign to fund her lavish lifestyle rather than pursuing legal action against her ex-husband.
Social media users expressed disappointment and frustration, with some feeling misled and urging others to report the GoFundMe to seek refunds. Comments ranged from accusing Obidi of emotional manipulation to questioning the priorities of those who contributed.
The controversy highlights concerns over transparency and accountability in online fundraising, reminding donors to exercise caution and ensure clarity regarding the purpose and intentions behind such campaigns.
