Cubana Chief Priest Dares Arise TV to Host Live DNA Test in Ongoing Paternity Dispute with Kenyan Woman Hellen Ati

In a bold public challenge that has reignited social media buzz, Nigerian socialite and businessman Pascal Okechukwu, popularly known as Cubana Chief Priest, has dared Arise TV to facilitate a live DNA test to settle long-standing paternity allegations made by Kenyan woman Hellen Ati.

The dispute dates back several years. Hellen Ati claims she conceived her son following a brief romantic encounter with Chief Priest in Lagos in 2022. She has repeatedly taken to social media, demanding a DNA test and financial support for the child, while sharing details of the emotional and financial struggles of raising him alone. Chief Priest has consistently denied the claims, asserting that he has never met Ati and that the accusations are a calculated attempt to tarnish his reputation and family life.

The latest twist came after Arise TV aired a report highlighting the unresolved paternity saga, focusing on Ati’s persistent calls for testing and the welfare of the child. In response, Chief Priest took to the comments section of the station’s post, issuing a direct challenge.

“Help me bring her and the child to your studio, make I come there do the DNA for una on Live TV for free,” he reportedly wrote, turning the media outlet into an unlikely mediator in the high-profile drama.

The statement has drawn widespread attention, with many interpreting it as a confident assertion of his innocence and a strategic move to force transparency under public scrutiny. Supporters praise him for stepping up, while critics argue he should have resolved the matter privately or earlier to protect the child’s interests.

The paternity row has played out dramatically online for months, if not years. Ati has made emotional appeals, at times lashing out in live sessions and even issuing strong statements about the child. Chief Priest, known for his flamboyant lifestyle and success in the nightlife and entertainment scene, has dismissed the claims as extortion, previously challenging others to conduct tests at their expense while promising reimbursement if proven true.

Legal angles have also surfaced in related reports, including mentions of proceedings in Kenya, though details remain limited. Public discourse often centers on the child’s well-being amid the adult back-and-forth.

As of now, there is no confirmed response from Arise TV or Hellen Ati to the live test proposal. The story continues to trend, reflecting the intense public fascination with celebrity personal dramas in Nigeria and beyond.

Whether this dare leads to an on-air resolution or further escalates the feud remains to be seen. For now, Cubana Chief Priest’s challenge has thrust the paternity dispute back into the spotlight, with all eyes on whether the proposed live DNA test will actually materialize.
