Celebrity barman, Pascal Okechukwu, popularly known as Cubana Chief Priest, has explained that long-standing U.S. visa issues prevented him from attending singer Davido’s white wedding in Miami, Florida.

In an Instagram post on Saturday, Okechukwu said he woke up with “mixed feelings,” describing his joy for the couple alongside the disappointment of missing the event.
