Celebrity barman, Pascal Okechukwu, popularly known as Cubana Chief Priest, has ignited reactions following his recent post on social media.
In a recent Instagram post, the Celebrity barman shared a playful video from his vacation in France, using a catchphrase famously associated with Ati’s online call-outs.
“PASKAL !!! You Will Suffer,” he captioned.
The drama stems from his ongoing paternity dispute with Hellen Ati, a Kenyan woman who claims Chief Priest is the father of her two-year-old son.
Hellen Ati alleged that Cubana Chief Priest fathered her child after a short romantic encounter in April 2022.

Despite her persistent demands for a DNA test, the nightlife mogul has reportedly ignored her requests.
The Kenyan woman has repeatedly taken to social media to call out Cubana Chief Priest, publicly dragging his wife into the controversy and issuing threats.
Cubana Chief Priest has filed a defamation lawsuit against Hellen Ati in a Kenyan court, seeking an interim injunction to restrain her from making further defamatory statements about him.
The lawsuit alleges that Hellen Ati’s claims are unfounded and driven by malice, based on selective social media disclosures rather than concrete and verifiable evidence.
The video has triggered a wave of amusement online, with many netizens finding the response hilarious.
