Nigerian nightlife entrepreneur Cubana Chief Priest has publicly challenged Arise TV Station to bring Kenyan national Hellen Atti and the child at the centre of their long-running paternity dispute to the studio for a live DNA test.
The businessman made the dare on Tuesday, 23 June 2026, while responding to renewed discussions surrounding the controversy on social media.
Cubana Chief Priest has consistently denied fathering the child and insists the allegations are financially motivated.
He has urged those involved to present the child directly to him rather than continuing the matter through online videos and campaigns.
The paternity dispute with Hellen Atti has remained in the public spotlight for several months. While Atti has repeatedly claimed he is the father and called on him to take responsibility, the entrepreneur has firmly rejected the allegation.
In one heated exchange, a social media user identified as emem_kemskelly_ukem urged him to resolve the issue, writing:
“Go and do DNA Pascal. This rubbish is too bad on your image as a well-known person. Even on your family, too. This DNA thing should have been done since before it escalated to this level. Una no get any atom of shame.”
Cubana Chief Priest replied:
“Celebrity no suppose get shame, Shebi na my money una dey hustle like this. One thing na to make money another thing na to protect am from urchins like you people. If you have a child for me too bring it to any of my outlets or my residence Una deh mad. Make I send person wey I no no money untop say you deh create content with my name and image online. So this looks normal to you, If you born for person bring am to the person no use am dey do video. Bring me the child na you dey find papa for your pikin, me I’m not looking for my child so I’m not spending anything to help you, na una dey find billionaire papa for una pikin what does it have to do with my money. I’m here come to me Y’all hustlers.”
“Make Una help me bring her and the child for una studio, make I come there, come do the DNA for una on Live TV for free,” Cubana Chief Priest declared.
