Nigerian nightlife entrepreneur and socialite Cubana Chief Priest has publicly challenged Arise TV to facilitate a live DNA test involving Kenyan national Hellen Atti and the child at the centre of their ongoing paternity dispute.
The businessman made the call on Tuesday amid renewed conversations about the controversy on social media, insisting that he is willing to undergo a DNA test if Atti and the child are brought to the television station.
The dispute, which has attracted widespread public attention for several months, revolves around Atti’s claim that Cubana Chief Priest is the biological father of her child. However, the celebrity businessman has repeatedly denied the allegation, maintaining that the claims are motivated by financial interests.
Reacting to criticism from social media users, Cubana Chief Priest reiterated his position that those making the allegations should present the child directly to him instead of pursuing the matter through online campaigns and videos.
One social media user, identified as emem_kemskelly_ukem, urged him to settle the issue by agreeing to a DNA test, arguing that the prolonged controversy was damaging his public image and family reputation.
Responding to the comment, Cubana Chief Priest defended his stance and insisted he would not bear any financial responsibility for a process initiated by those accusing him of fatherhood.
He further challenged media platform Arise TV to bring both Atti and the child to its studio, stating that he would willingly participate in a DNA test live on air at no cost.
“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,” he said.
Despite his latest challenge, the paternity dispute remains unresolved, with both parties maintaining opposing positions on the matter.
