The long-running paternity controversy involving Cubana Chiefpriest and his Kenyan baby mama, Hellen Ati, has resurfaced after the celebrity barman publicly declared that he is willing to undergo a DNA test on live television. However, he insists that Ati must bring the child to Nigeria before any test can take place.
Socialite and businessman Cubana Chiefpriest has once again addressed the paternity allegations made by Kenyan woman Hellen Ati, stating that he is prepared to take a DNA test in front of a live television audience to settle the matter once and for all.
The latest development emerged after a video of Ati appealing for assistance resurfaced online and gained widespread attention.
In the emotional clip, Ati claimed she had been raising her son alone for several years and revealed that the child was currently battling health challenges. She called on Chiefpriest to accept responsibility if he was indeed the boy’s father.
Cubana Chiefpriest Demands Child Be Brought for DNA Test
Responding to growing calls from social media users urging him to resolve the issue, Chiefpriest maintained that he is not avoiding a DNA test.
Instead, he challenged Ati and her supporters to bring the child to a television studio where the test could be conducted publicly.
In a comment shared online, the socialite wrote, “Make Una help me bring her & the child for una studio make I come there come do the DNA For una on live tv for free.”
Chiefpriest further stated that he would not provide financial assistance for travel arrangements, arguing that anyone making paternity claims should be responsible for presenting the child for verification.
He also dismissed accusations from critics, suggesting that some individuals were using his name to generate online engagement and publicity.
According to him, “If you have a child for me too bring it to any of my outlets or my residence.”
The celebrity businessman added that he would not be pressured into providing money simply because someone wanted what he described as a “billionaire papa” for a child.
How the Cubana Chiefpriest Kenyan Baby Mama Controversy Began
The dispute dates back to 2023 when Hellen Ati publicly claimed that she had a brief relationship with Chiefpriest during a visit to Lagos in 2022.
According to her, the encounter resulted in pregnancy, and she later gave birth to a son in January 2023.
Ati subsequently identified Chiefpriest as the child’s father and repeatedly called on him to acknowledge the boy and undergo a DNA test.
Chiefpriest swiftly denied the allegations, insisting that the claims were aimed at attracting attention and financial benefits through his name. Despite several public appeals from Ati over the years, he has consistently maintained his position.
The controversy gained fresh momentum in early 2025 during Chiefpriest’s highly publicised online feud with music star Burna Boy.
During the exchange, Burna Boy openly supported Ati’s demand for a DNA test and reportedly offered assistance to help facilitate her trip to Nigeria.

Ati has also alleged that shortly after the birth of her son, Chiefpriest sent her N300,000 in installments to assist with baby-related expenses after she experienced complications from childbirth. She argues that the financial support raises further questions about his denial of paternity.
Despite years of public exchanges, the matter remains unresolved. While Ati continues to insist that a DNA test will prove her claims, Chiefpriest now says he is ready to take the test publicly, provided the child is brought to Nigeria.
