“I paid half of my bride price…” – Korra Obidi replies critics saying ex-husband, Justin took her out of poverty
US-based Nigerian dancer and singer, Korra Obidi, has made a startling revelation about her past marriage to her ex-husband, American doctor Justin Dean.
In a video that has been circulating on social media, Korra disclosed that she had paid half of her own bride price when she got married to Justin.
Korra, who has been facing constant criticism and attacks on social media regarding her divorce from Justin, decided to set the record straight.
She addressed the misconceptions that Justin had rescued her from poverty and gave her a better life.
According to Korra, she actually met Justin in China, and contrary to popular belief, she had paid half of her own bride price when they got married.
Furthermore, Korra revealed that she had also paid Justin a settlement of $50,000 after their divorce, debunking claims that she had left him after he brought her to the United States from Nigeria.
In her words;
“Do you realize I paid half of my bride price. He took me out of poverty? does any part of my family look poor to you? Anyone thinking he saved me and put me in the land of opportunity…No, that’s not what happened we both met in China. I paid him $50,000 dollars, he did not give me one dime. I had to settle him after divorce”, she said in part.
