Popular Nigerian socialite, Pascal Okechukwu, professionally known as Cubana Chief Priest, has dismissed claims from a Kenyan woman alleging that he fathered her child.
He described the entire saga as a deliberate attempt to destabilize his marriage.
The controversy, which has been making headlines, surfaced when the woman, identified as Helen, accused Cubana Chief Priest of neglecting her and their supposed son. However, the socialite denied the allegations during an interview on Channels Television’s Rubbin’ Minds on Sunday.
Chief Priest said, “Children are gifts from God, regardless of how they come, and I have more than enough to take care of my children, as many as possible that will come my way.”
He insisted that he had no connection with Helen and maintained that the child was not his. While addressing the issue, the Imo State-born businessman noted that the accusations seem to have a single focus—his marriage.
“I have a beautiful marriage; this is the best thing that has ever happened to me, and if you watch the whole attack, it is on the marriage,” he said.
When asked if he would take responsibility if the child turned out to be his, Chief Priest said, “Of course,” but added that the manner in which the accusations were made made it difficult for him to act amicably.
“You cannot bash me this hard and expect my loyalty,” he said.
He revealed that his relationship with his wife remains solid and unshaken by the rumors.
Describing their bond, he said, “My wife and I are more than just husband and wife; we are business partners and inseparable associates.”
Cubana Chief Priest also expressed suspicion about the woman’s motives, explaining that she always resurfaces during moments of controversy surrounding him.
“This woman only pops up every time something about me goes viral. That shows it’s not about finding the father of her child but about ulterior motives,” he stated.
Although the businessman said he is willing to take a DNA test to clear his name, he reiterated that he has no knowledge of the Kenyan woman or her child.
