Mayor of South Fulton in Georgia, Kobi, formerly known as Khalid Kamau, has come under intense pressure for misuse of public funds.

He recently walked out of a city council meeting where he was questioned about his spending on the city’s credit cards.

“I am so distressed and disappointed that the Blackest city in one of the Blackest states in the United States, heading into Black History Month, we are tearing each other down,” Kobi said.

Councilwoman Helen Willis took issue with Kobi’s statement and responded sharply, “We’re not tearing you down; you took your Black behind over to Africa for 20 days and didn’t tell anybody.”

The inquiry began after Reshard Snellings, a concerned citizen, noticed Kobi’s extravagant trip to Ghana during the holiday season. Kobi embarked on a 20-day trip to the African country and documented the excursion on his Instagram.

Kobi is accused of using county funds to purchase over $5,000 in plane tickets, a $1,300 drone, and several Amazon items.
