Popular Nigerian-American artist, Korra Obidi, faced backlash as she jetted off to Hawaii shortly after achieving her $50,000 GoFundMe target, which was intended for legal fees in her custody battle against her ex-husband, Justin Dean.
Obidi initiated the fundraising campaign on Friday, aiming to secure legal representation to challenge Dean’s custody rights over their children. Despite garnering $50,000 from over 950 donors globally, Obidi’s decision to embark on a Hawaiian vacation stirred criticism among her supporters.
Many on social media expressed disillusionment, alleging that Obidi’s true motive behind the fundraiser was not legal action but rather indulging in a lavish lifestyle. Critics accused her of manipulating her followers and exploiting their generosity.

While some questioned the abrupt shift from seeking legal aid to vacationing, others defended Obidi’s right to privacy and personal choices. However, the controversy reignited discussions surrounding Obidi’s ongoing divorce and custody dispute with Dean, who recently obtained restrictions against featuring their children in Obidi’s online content.
Despite Obidi’s allegations of abuse and mistreatment during her marriage to Dean, her decision to travel to Hawaii following the fundraiser has sparked a heated debate over transparency and accountability in online fundraising efforts.
