Everything happened for a reason, and if you ask me, everything happened so much so that I am able to be at this level at this time.”
Reflecting on her family background, Korra addressed misconceptions about her dance journey. Dismissing the idea that dance was taboo in her household, she clarified that her family was conservative, and her passion for dance was not hidden but merely not encouraged.

Korra’s infectious energy and honesty shone through as she discussed her father’s newfound fame on social media and their strengthened bond.
The conversation didn’t shy away from more personal topics, such as Korra’s past marriage. She addressed the complexities of inter-tribal marriages in Nigeria and her rebellious approach to societal expectations. Korra openly discussed her divorce, admitting to having an affair and emphasizing the importance of honesty. “Secrets kill,” she declared, embracing her choice to live authentically.
As the interview progressed, Korra shared her perspective on the music industry’s objectification of women. Unapologetically embracing her artistry, she highlighted the importance of personal boundaries and authenticity. Kora acknowledged that while the industry often sexualizes women, individuals must define their limits.
Towards the end, the conversation touched on Korra’s openness to love and the possibility of marriage in the future. With a vibrant spirit, she expressed her desire for a genuine connection and emphasized the need for potential partners to understand and accept her public persona.
