Cubana Chief Priest, a well-known nightlife promoter, has recently addressed the paternity claims made by Hellen Mutimu, a woman from Kenya. The situation caught public attention back in January when Mutimu alleged that a brief fling with Cubana during his 2022 Lagos visit led to her pregnancy.
After she gave birth, Mutimu reportedly tried to reach out to him multiple times but says he blocked her on all social media platforms. She has been vocal about wanting a paternity test to prove her claims, but so far, she’s received no response.
Recently, during a live session with TikTok star Peller, Cubana Chief Priest shared his thoughts on the controversy. He mentioned that he and his wife find the allegations amusing rather than troubling. He challenged Mutimu to come to Nigeria, questioning why she seeks public sympathy without backing her claims with evidence.
Cubana expressed frustration over how fame can lead to unfounded accusations. He stated, “People want to see if the rumors will ruin your marriage.” He reassured fans that nothing can break the bond he shares with his wife, emphasizing their ability to laugh off the situation.
Cubana added, “If you genuinely have a child with me, why weaponize that against me? You should bring the child to Nigeria. How can you want support from someone you accuse of being fraudulent?”
In June, he took legal action and filed a lawsuit in Kenya to prevent Mutimu from making defamatory statements about him online.
This ongoing situation highlights how public figures often navigate the complexities of fame and personal relationships. In today’s social media age, rumors can spread rapidly, and perceptions can change quickly. Recent statistics show that 70% of internet users in Kenya are active on social media, underlining its influence and the potential for disputes like this to escalate.
As discussions around this topic continue, it raises important questions about accountability and the need for proof in claims made against individuals in the public eye. Expert voices in social media ethics suggest that celebrity scandals often draw attention away from more significant issues, reflecting society’s fascination with drama over substance.
