Singer and dancer, Korra Obidi Dean who is happily married to blued eyed, blonde American man has said she has no regrets over her decision.
Although self acclaimed Black Queen, the mother of one adds that being a Black doesn’t mean she shouldn’t follow her heart when it found love in the arms of white American.
She shared her position via her verified Facebook page where she wrote, “#BlackAF
So, it’s no story I got married to a blued eyed, blonde American man and I get a lot of opinions daily about my choice of a partner.
‘Can’t believe you’re with him’
‘a nubian queen like you need some good D’
‘sellout’
If you eat pineapples enough, you begin to smell like one.
I started to feel like a ‘sellout’,
Doubts and Questions Like ‘Korra,
if you are so black and proud, why did you marry ‘white’?
Then I remember, I didn’t choose love, Love chose me, it is divine and beyond me. And what I can’t control, shouldn’t make me feel less of me.
Love is Love and Today I reclaim my Blackness.
Who I choose to love doesn’t make me less black
I am #blackAF straight from the motherland and that’s on my mother. #gbabe #kpomkwem”
The singer who has also suffered criticisms and backlash for some of her daring photos had revealed that she wasn’t bothered about naysayers.
She told Punch in a recent interview, “I enjoy the criticism with some caramel corn and some cuddling in the arms of my man while we drink wine. We also joke about it over dinner sometimes. We discuss more ways to enjoy our lives, to give the haters more ammunition for their daily hate. I believe hate is just confused love. Most of my diehard fans started off as haters. If they don’t scrutinise, there is a problem. They need to scrutinise.
“My people know me and what I do; no misconceptions. The new fans come in confused at times but get settled in after watching two or three of my videos and listening to my music.”
