Nigerian dancer and singer Korra Obidi has stirred controversy after revealing that she nearly faced removal from a flight due to what airline staff deemed inappropriate attire.
The mother of two, known for her often revealing fashion choices, shared the incident on her social media platforms over the weekend, posting images of herself in a pink outfit that airline personnel apparently found objectionable.
According to Obidi's account, she was informed that she needed to cover up or risk being removed from the aircraft. The dancer did not specify which airline was involved or the flight's destination.
"I was almost kicked off the plane for this outfit. Be honest, was this airline doing the most?" Obidi wrote in her Facebook post, seeking opinions from her followers on whether the airline's reaction was justified.
The post has generated significant backlash, with many commenters criticizing the entertainer's choice of clothing as inappropriate for air travel. Critics argued that airlines have the right to enforce dress codes to maintain certain standards of decorum during flights.
This is not the first time Obidi has found herself at the center of controversy. The dancer has previously made headlines for her public disputes with ex-husband Justin Dean, including securing a permanent restraining order against him, as well as for candid statements about her personal life.
The incident highlights ongoing debates about dress codes in public spaces, particularly on commercial flights where passengers share confined spaces for extended periods. Many airlines maintain dress code policies, though enforcement can vary widely between carriers and individual staff members.
Obidi has not provided further details about how the situation was ultimately resolved, but her presence on social media suggests she was eventually permitted to travel.
