Popular Nigerian dancer Korra Obidi has made headlines once again after her bold appearance at the Atlanta Caribbean Carnival in the United States drew significant attention and sparked online conversations.
Obidi, a mother of two known for her energetic dance performances and frequent twerking displays, appeared on stage wearing a revealing bikini outfit that showcased much of her body. The attire, though consistent with the flamboyant and expressive style typical of Caribbean carnivals, led to mixed reactions online, with some critics accusing her of revealing “too much skin.”
Despite the controversy, Korra Obidi was honored at the event with a special award, recognizing her consistent presence and cultural representation at the carnival. The award, presented during the Afro-Caribbean segment of the celebration, highlighted her contribution to the festival’s vibrancy and global appeal.
Overwhelmed with excitement, Korra accepted the award with a radiant smile and followed it with a powerful dance performance that captivated the audience. Her joy was evident as she moved across the stage with grace and enthusiasm, celebrating both her heritage and recognition.
Addressing public criticisms during her time on stage, Korra responded to those who often label her a “prostitute” (or “Ashewo” in Nigerian slang). In a firm and confident tone, she declared that she is not what people call her but a queen, using the platform to push back against shaming and to reclaim her identity with pride.
Her performance and statement have reignited discussions around body autonomy, cultural expression, and societal judgment, especially concerning female entertainers and public figures from Africa making waves abroad.
Sharing the video, Korra Obidi wrote; “Shocking award presentation. See what my shamelessness has brought for me. Film the nyash! Film am well well. Afro- Caribbean princess forever. I love you, Caribbean.”

beedeeluv : “It seems that nudity has become the norm, but let’s not forget one doesn’t need to be nak3d to express their art or talent. There is a time and place for everything. If you’re happy, then congratulations. As for the award, to me, it holds little value when it’s overshadowed by choices that compromise the dignity of the craft.”
