A Kenyan woman, Helen Ati, who has repeatedly claimed that Nigerian socialite and nightlife entrepreneur, Pascal Okechukwu, popularly known as Cubana Chief Priest, is the father of her child, has again taken to social media with an emotional outburst, saying she is struggling to care for the child alone.
In a recent online post that has since gone viral, Helen Ati expressed frustration over what she described as the burden of raising a sick child without adequate support.
“Pascal, I am tired of taking care of this child, he is sick right now, I am tired,” she wrote, addressing Cubana Chief Priest directly in the emotional message.
The post quickly attracted attention across social media platforms, reigniting public debate around the ongoing paternity allegation involving the Kenyan woman and the Nigerian celebrity.
Helen Ati has, over time, consistently alleged that Cubana Chief Priest is the father of her child, a claim the socialite has repeatedly denied.
The latest emotional appeal has once again placed the issue in the spotlight, with many users online reacting with mixed opinions. While some sympathised with her situation as a mother reportedly struggling with childcare, others urged caution, calling for restraint until a proper legal or scientific resolution is reached.
Cubana Chief Priest, known for his flamboyant lifestyle and strong presence on social media, has not issued a fresh response to the latest outburst at the time of filing this report. However, he has previously dismissed similar claims made by Helen Ati, maintaining that he is not the father of her child.
The renewed attention comes amid a long-running social media controversy that has occasionally trended across Nigerian and Kenyan online spaces.
Paternity disputes involving celebrities are not new in the entertainment and social media space, where allegations often gain wide attention before being resolved through legal or private means such as DNA testing.
In many cases, public figures facing such claims often choose to remain silent or respond through legal channels rather than engage in prolonged online exchanges.
Cubana Chief Priest, a well-known figure in Nigeria’s nightlife and entertainment industry, has built a large following over the years due to his association with celebrities, musicians and high-profile events.
His popularity on social media has also made him a frequent subject of public discussions, endorsements and occasional controversies.
Helen Ati, on her part, has continued to use social media as a platform to air her grievances and share updates regarding her claims and personal struggles as a mother.
Her latest post, which focused on the health condition of her alleged child and the difficulties she is facing, has added a more emotional dimension to the ongoing dispute.
Child welfare advocates often stress that public disputes involving children should be handled with caution to avoid exposing minors to unnecessary public attention or emotional distress.
They also encourage parents involved in paternity disagreements to pursue formal legal or medical processes, including DNA testing, rather than relying on public arguments on social media.
In Nigeria and many other countries, courts have increasingly relied on scientific evidence to resolve paternity disputes, especially where there are conflicting claims between parties.
The latest development has once again sparked conversations online about celebrity responsibility, accountability and the impact of social media disputes on families.
While some users have called for empathy towards Helen Ati’s situation, others have questioned the timing and tone of her repeated public messages, urging both parties to seek a more private resolution.
As of the time of this report, there has been no official confirmation or independent verification of the paternity claims made by Helen Ati.
The situation remains a matter of public allegation and denial between both parties.
For now, the controversy appears unresolved, with Helen Ati’s latest emotional post adding another layer to an already long-running and widely followed online saga.
