The dispute began several months ago when Hellen publicly alleged that she had a brief romantic affair with the celebrity in April 2022, which, she said, resulted in the birth of a son. According to Hellen, Chief Priest—whose real name is Pascal Okechukwu—refused to take responsibility for the child and cut off all means of communication, including blocking her on social media and phone channels.
Despite her calls for a paternity test to verify her claims, the nightlife figure has consistently denied any relationship with Hellen and maintained that he has never met her. His silence on the DNA test request has only further fueled public interest in the case.
Now, the dispute has escalated legally. A Nigerian legal practitioner operating in Kenya under the moniker DPA Family Clinic revealed via Facebook that Cubana Chief Priest has instituted a defamation suit against Hellen in a Kenyan court, claiming reputational damage.
“Pascal thinks he can sue, right?” she said. “You know within yourself that you are supposed to be in jail by now, and you have the audacity to sue—after years of refusing a DNA test to prove your innocence.”
She further asserted that the legal process in Kenya would be impartial, unlike in Nigeria, where she implied the wealthy could allegedly influence outcomes.
“This is Kenya, my country—not Nigeria, where you believe you can buy lawyers or hospitals to alter DNA results,” she added.
The case continues to generate buzz online, dividing public opinion. While some argue that a DNA test would quickly settle the matter, others see the lawsuit as an attempt by Chief Priest to defend his public image.
As of now, no court date has been publicly disclosed, and Cubana Chief Priest has yet to issue any new public statement in response to the recent developments.
