The paternity dispute involving Nigerian socialite and businessman Cubana Chief Priest and Kenyan woman Hellen Ati has resurfaced online after she made a fresh appeal concerning the child she claims is his son.
According to Hellen, the child is currently unwell, prompting her renewed call for the celebrity barman to accept responsibility. Her appeal generated reactions across social media, with many users expressing sympathy and urging Cubana Chief Priest, whose real name is Pascal Okechukwu, to agree to a DNA test to resolve the matter.
Responding to the growing criticism, Cubana Chief Priest dismissed the pressure and accused some social media users of trying to take advantage of his wealth and celebrity status.
“Celebrity no suppose get shame. Shebi na my money una dey hustle like this. One thing na to make money another thing na to protect am from urchins like you people,” he wrote.
The nightlife entrepreneur also maintained that anyone claiming to have a child for him should bring the child directly to him instead of making videos on social media.
“If you have a child for me too, bring it to any of my outlets or my residence. If you born for person, bring am to the person, no use am dey do video,” he added.
Amid the ongoing exchanges, an Instagram user identified as @emem_kemskelly_ukem criticized the prolonged controversy and called on the businessman to undergo a DNA test.
“Go and do DNA Pascal. This rubbish is too bad on your image as a well-known person. Even on your family too. This DNA thing should have been done since before it escalated to this level. Una no get any atom of shame,” the user wrote.
In response, Cubana Chief Priest expressed readiness to take the test but suggested it should be done publicly.
“Make Una help me bring her and the child for una studio make I come there come do the DNA for una on live TV for free,” he replied.
However, Hellen Ati reacted to the proposal by claiming that Cubana Chief Priest had previously promised to take a DNA test but failed to honour the commitment.
“Pascal, you are saying that I should go and do DNA on a live TV station yet this is what you said in Ebuka live last year that you will do the DNA yet you run away, so you think this one is a joke. Pascal, we will die here together. I will never back down until the DNA is conducted,” she said.
