Nigerian singer and dancer Korra Obidi has expressed pride in her journey through the entertainment industry, despite facing public criticism over the years.
Celebrating 15 years since launching her career, Obidi described her rise from dancing on small stages in Surulere, Lagos, to performing on international platforms as a testament to the power of dreams.
“Navigating my life in the public eye, living authentically without caving to societal pressures of conformity has been one of my proudest feats in the few adult years I have lived,” she said.
The mother of two shared that maintaining humility and staying grounded in her craft have helped her stay focused and resilient.
“Through the treacherous terrains of public opinion, I have found peace by recentering myself, drinking my body’s weight in water daily, minding my craft, and remaining humble,” Obidi explained.
She also emphasized the importance of continuous personal growth, identifying ego as a major obstacle to progress.
“Ego is the enemy. Learning every day and grooming a growth mentality is the key. Stagnation and redundancies are never condoned in the Korraverse,” she added.
Obidi recently wrapped up a two-month tour that took her to Berlin, Italy, and Antigua, marking another milestone in her dynamic career.
