Cubana Chief Priest Agrees To Undergo Public DNA Test In Paternity Dispute With Kenyan Woman

-



Nigerian businessman and socialite, Pascal Chibuike Okechukwu, popularly known as Cubana Chief Priest, has agreed to undergo a public DNA test to resolve the long-running paternity dispute with Kenyan woman, Hellen Ati. 

Chief Priest made the declaration on Monday in response to a viral video of Ati pleading for help, which was discussed on a national television programme. In the emotional video, Ati expressed exhaustion from raising their alleged son alone, noting that the child was ill and that she had spent all her resources on his treatment. She urged the businessman to take responsibility if the boy is indeed his. 

Reacting to public pressure and calls from his followers on Instagram, Chief Priest wrote: “Make Una help me bring her & the child for una studio make I come there come do the DNA For una on live TV for free.” 

He maintained his stance that he would not send money to anyone levelling allegations against him online and insisted that the responsibility to bring the child lies with Ati. “Bring me the child na you dey find papa for your pikin,” he added. 

The controversy dates back to 2023. Ati has consistently claimed that her son was conceived after a brief encounter with Chief Priest in Lagos in 2022. She has repeatedly demanded a DNA test, saying she has struggled financially and emotionally to raise the child alone. 

Chief Priest has always denied knowing Ati or fathering the child, describing the claims as attempts to tarnish his marriage and public image. The dispute gained fresh attention in January 2025 during his online feud with singer Burna Boy, who publicly backed Ati’s call for a DNA test. 

In his latest comments, Chief Priest said he is now ready for a public DNA test, provided Ati brings the child to the designated venue. 

The development comes after sustained public pressure following Ati’s recent appeals on social media.
