Nigerian socialite Pascal Okechukwu, well known as Cubana Chief Priest, is involved in a paternity dispute with Kenyan hairdresser Hellen Mutimu.
Mutimu alleged that an intimate encounter with Okechukwu during her visit to Lagos in 2023 resulted in the birth of a child. She claimed that upon informing him of the pregnancy, he advised her to terminate it and subsequently severed all communication.
Okechukwu has consistently refuted these allegations, asserting that he has no prior relationship with Mutimu and labeling her claims as unfounded. He emphasized his financial capacity to support any child he fathers and challenged Mutimu to come to Nigeria to facilitate a DNA test, pledging to cover all associated costs if proven to be the father. He stated, “God forbid that I have a child and abandon them… I don’t even know you; there’s no connection whatsoever.”
The situation took a new turn when Mutimu’s legal representative accused associates of Nigerian artist Burna Boy of exploiting the situation for personal gain. She claimed that Burna Boy’s aides demanded intimate and financial favors from Mutimu in exchange for assistance, including a promise of ₦30 million for the child’s education. Mutimu corroborated these claims, stating that she received only $350 and faced undue pressure from Burna Boy’s team.
Reacting to these developments, Okechukwu criticized Burna Boy, accusing him of attempting to provoke him by financially involving his family and orchestrating Mutimu’s connection with his associates. He further alleged that Burna Boy’s actions were calculated moves to tarnish his reputation.
This ongoing saga has sparked widespread reactions on social media, with public opinions divided over the unfolding events. While some express sympathy for Mutimu’s plight, others question the credibility of her claims, citing the lack of concrete evidence. As the situation develops, the public awaits further clarification from the parties involved.
The paternity allegations against Cubana Chief Priest have evolved into a multifaceted controversy involving multiple parties and claims of exploitation. As the narrative continues to unfold, it underscores the complexities inherent in public figures’ personal lives and the rapid dissemination of information in the digital age.
