The ongoing paternity dispute involving Nigerian socialite Cubana Chief Priest and a Kenyan woman named Helen Ati has escalated, with Helen threatening to report him to a Nsukka shrine deity in Eastern Nigeria. She alleges that the socialite is avoiding responsibility for their son, refusing a DNA test, and mocking her publicly while she struggles to raise their child alone . Helen vowed, “I will quietly go and report you there … over my dead body… You must take care of this child.” 

Helen’s accusations also include public appeals for state intervention. In a Mother’s Day video, she begged Imo State Governor Hope Uzodinma and his wife to pressure Cubana Chief Priest to comply with the DNA demand and support their son, citing dire financial hardship and emotional strain in raising the child in Kenya . Meanwhile, the socialite firmly denies all allegations, stating the saga is a targeted attack on his marriage. He has offered to take a paternity test but maintains that the claims lack merit and are strategically timed to damage his reputation .

The feud took a darker turn when Helen reportedly attempted suicide by poisoning amid mounting emotional distress, and her friend has disclosed she has made multiple suicide attempts due to the distress caused by the ongoing saga . Despite the seriousness of the claims and mental health implications, Cubana Chief Priest has responded with legal action, filing a defamation lawsuit against Helen in Kenya, which she has vowed to contest publicly . The dispute remains unresolved as social media and traditional channels continue to amplify both sides.
