Cubana Chief Priest Takes Legal Action Against Kenyan Woman Claiming to Be His Baby Mama

Cubana Chief Priest, real name Pascal Okechukwu, has officially filed a lawsuit against Hellen Ati, the Kenyan woman publicly accusing him of fathering her child. The legal move marks a sharp escalation in their high-profile paternity dispute, which has captured national attention since January.

Okechukwu, a Nigerian nightlife entrepreneur and social media influencer, appeared on Channels Television’s Rubbin’ Minds in late January 2025 to deny any involvement with Hellen. He insisted he had never met her and demanded a DNA test to prove her claims false.

Hellen first attracted media attention in April 2022, alleging their relationship began in Nigeria, leading to pregnancy. She sought financial support, traveled to Kenya after giving birth, and later accused Chief Priest of abandoning her and their son—alleging homelessness and hardship.

Media sources report that Hellen posted legal documents in January naming Okechukwu as the child’s father and challenged him to submit to paternity testing—or face legal consequences . She later took a dramatic spiritual oath, demanding his public affirmation and warning of divine repercussions should he refuse the test.

Chief Priest responded by describing the entire saga as a determined effort to sabotage his marriage. He stated, “Children are gifts from God… I have a beautiful marriage… this attack is on the marriage,” and confirmed he’d take a DNA test if the situation was handled properly, but would not tolerate public aggression.

The lawsuit, filed in an Imo State court in late June 2025, seeks defamation damages and restraining orders. Okechukwu’s legal team asserts that Hellen’s claims are malicious and unsupported—relying on her selective social media disclosures and spiritual theatrics rather than verifiable evidence.

As the court prepares to hear both parties, public interest in the case continues to escalate. Beyond the personal legal battle, many analysts see broader implications—raising questions about public reputation, accountability, and the complexities of cross-border relationships in the social media age.
