Nigerian socialite and businessman Cubana Chiefpriest has once again addressed the paternity allegations made by Kenyan woman Hellen Ati, stating that he is willing to take a DNA test live on television to settle the matter.
His latest comments came after a video resurfaced showing Ati emotionally appealing for support while claiming she has been raising their alleged son alone. She said the child has faced health challenges and that she has struggled financially while caring for him.
Responding to calls from followers to resolve the issue, Chiefpriest said he was prepared to undergo a DNA test in front of a live audience. However, he insisted that Ati must bring the child to Nigeria for the test, maintaining that he would not provide money for travel or other expenses.
According to Chiefpriest, the responsibility lies with the person making the paternity claim to present evidence. He also dismissed accusations that he was avoiding the test, arguing that he has repeatedly expressed his willingness to participate if the child is brought forward.
The dispute dates back to 2023 when Ati publicly claimed that she became pregnant after meeting Chiefpriest during a visit to Lagos. After giving birth, she identified him as the child’s father and called on him to acknowledge and support the boy.Chiefpriest has consistently denied the allegation, describing it as an attempt to gain attention and financial benefits from his public profile.
Despite his denials, Ati has continued to insist that a DNA test would confirm her claims.
The controversy gained even more attention in 2025 during an online feud involving Grammy-winning singer Burna Boy, who publicly supported calls for a DNA test and reportedly offered assistance in helping Ati travel to Nigeria.Ati has also claimed that shortly after the child’s birth, Chiefpriest sent her money to assist with baby-related expenses, a claim she says contradicts his continued denial of paternity.
The businessman has not changed his position and maintains that the matter can only be resolved through a DNA test conducted after the child is brought to Nigeria.Nearly three years after the allegations first surfaced, both parties remain firm in their positions, with the dispute still unresolved.
