DNA Drama: Hellen Ati Appeals to De Angels in Paternity Battle.

The Nigerian World

The news as it trends. See the video below. 

Kenyan woman Hellen Ati has reignited controversy by publicly appealing to De Angels, wife of Nigerian socialite and nightlife mogul Pascal Chibuike Okechukwu—popularly known as Cubana Chiefpriest.

In a viral Instagram Live session, Hellen urged De Angels to convince her husband to take a DNA test and provide child support for a son she claims he fathered.

She alleges that Chiefpriest has refused to acknowledge the child, blaming his wife for blocking efforts to confirm paternity.

Hellen insists she no longer wants a relationship with him—only accountability.

This marks the first time Hellen has directly addressed Chiefpriest’s wife, turning what was once a private dispute into a full-blown public campaign.

The case has sparked intense debate across social media about responsibility, reputation, and family rights.

Since 2022, Hellen has been seeking support, which she claims has been ignored.

She says she’s been left to raise her son, Liam Pascal Okechukwu—born in January 2023—without any financial assistance from the man she believes is the father.

Cubana Chiefpriest, known for his lavish lifestyle and celebrity connections, has an estimated net worth of $17 million.

His wealth stems from luxury hospitality ventures, brand endorsements, and ownership of popular nightclubs across Nigeria.

He is publicly known to have two biological sons with his wife, De Angels: Chukwuebuka and Obinna.

Hellen’s claim would make Liam his third child, though paternity remains unconfirmed.

In countries like the United States or the UK, such a case would likely trigger court-ordered paternity testing.

Refusal to comply could result in legal penalties, including fines, wage garnishment, or even jail time for contempt of court.

Mandatory child support payments would be enforced, and the case would become part of the public record.

These legal systems prioritize the child’s welfare and hold alleged fathers accountable regardless of fame or fortune.

In contrast, Hellen has expressed frustration with Nigeria’s legal system, suggesting Cubana Chiefpriest’s influence may hinder justice.

She is currently pursuing legal action in Kenya, where she resides, and has hinted at exploring international options if necessary.

However, since the child was born in Kenya and Cubana Chiefpriest has no confirmed legal ties to the U.S., pursuing the case abroad would require strategic legal maneuvering.

As the story unfolds, it raises broader questions about parental responsibility, celebrity privilege, and the rights of single mothers seeking justice across borders.
