What we know:
Guobadia’s latest attempt at gaining naturalized citizenship was reportedly denied last month, according to The Source. He formally applied for citizenship in 2016, a request that followed several arrests and a deportation to Nigeria in the 1990s.
Guobadia filed a lawsuit against Williams in November 2024, seeking $75,000 in damages. The suit alleges that Williams made false and defamatory statements on social media that caused him emotional distress and an invasion of privacy.
What they're saying:
Williams took to Instagram to express her feelings about the situation, stating it was "disheartening" to see her estranged husband make choices that led to his current predicament.
