Popular Nigerian dancer and entertainer, Korra Obidi, has launched a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds for her legal battle over parental rights.
Obidi’s ex-husband, Justin Dean, has reportedly obtained image rights protection from Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, which prevents Obidi from featuring their children on her social media accounts. This has jeopardized Obidi’s livelihood as a content creator, as she frequently features her children in her videos.
In a video posted to her Instagram account, Obidi expressed her frustration and desperation. She said that she is being “silenced” and that she is determined to fight for her rights as a mother.
“I am a content creator and my children are my life. I cannot continue to create content without them,” Obidi said. “I am asking for your help to fund my legal battle so that I can continue to provide for my children and fight for my rights as a mother.”
Obidi’s GoFundMe campaign has a goal of $50,000. As of this writing, she has raised over $10,000.
Obidi and Dean were married in 2018 and have two children together. They separated in March 2022, and their divorce is currently being finalized.
In recent months, Obidi and Dean have been involved in a public dispute over custody of their children. Dean has accused Obidi of being an unfit mother, and he has filed for full custody.
Obidi has denied the allegations and has said that Dean is trying to control her and prevent her from seeing her children.
Obidi’s GoFundMe campaign has received mixed reactions from the public. Some people have expressed sympathy for Obidi and have pledged to donate to her cause. Others have criticized Obidi for using her platform to beg for money.
It is unclear how the GoFundMe campaign will affect Obidi’s legal battle. However, it is clear that she is determined to fight for her rights as a mother and to continue to provide for her children.
