Celebrity barman and nightlife entrepreneur, Pascal Okechukwu, popularly known as Cubana Chief Priest, has once again set the internet ablaze—this time with a cheeky jab at Kenyan socialite Hellen Atti, amid their ongoing paternity dispute.
In a recent Instagram post shared with his over 5 million followers, the socialite posted a playful vacation video from France. However, what drew attention was not the luxury scenery but the caption: “PASKAL!!! You Will Suffer”—a phrase that has become synonymous with Hellen Atti’s public accusations against him.
The caption, instantly recognizable to social media users, was widely interpreted as a mockery of Atti’s dramatic outbursts, in which she has repeatedly alleged that Cubana Chief Priest fathered her two-year-old son after what she described as a short-lived affair in April 2022.
Atti has been vocal on social media, urging Cubana Chief Priest to take responsibility and submit to a DNA test. She has also drawn the businessman’s wife into the controversy, raising eyebrows and eliciting mixed reactions from the public.
So far, Chief Priest has refrained from publicly acknowledging paternity, maintaining his silence on the DNA test demand. Instead, he responded legally, filing a defamation lawsuit against Atti in Kenya. The suit seeks an interim injunction to restrain her from making further defamatory posts, arguing that her claims are baseless and aimed at tarnishing his image using selective social media narratives.
The viral Instagram video, however, appears to be a rare, indirect response—served with a dose of sarcasm.
Netizens React
The video has triggered a frenzy of reactions online, with fans and critics offering their takes:
@wf_lamar commented, “I read it in her voice 😂😂.”
@dr_dalu wrote, “Helen think say life na Nollywood.”
@donsurplusenterprise joked, “Na this kain suffer I want o.”
@ejuraobike expressed concern: “Kai this little boy did not beg to come to this world. Hmmm.”
@Vivianvictor296 demanded, “Pascal, you must do DNA.”
@bolaomoekiti sarcastically added, “Paskaluuu! Come and take your baby. He never chop since last week, you dey chop suya.”
While some found the post humorous, others called for accountability, urging the celebrity barman to take a DNA test to clear the air once and for all.
As of press time, there has been no official update on the status of the defamation suit. Legal experts suggest that if Atti fails to provide substantial evidence or comply with court directives, she may face penalties or restrictions on her online statements. Meanwhile, advocacy groups have called for sensitivity when children are involved in public scandals, emphasizing the child’s right to privacy.
Cubana Chief Priest remains one of Nigeria’s most flamboyant figures in the entertainment and hospitality industry, with a brand built around luxury, influence, and controversy. This latest social media spectacle adds another layer to his ever-dramatic public persona.
As public attention intensifies, all eyes are on whether Cubana Chief Priest will eventually agree to a DNA test—or if the case will continue to unfold in the courtroom and on social media feeds alike.
