In a stunning and emotionally charged outburst that has captured the attention of social media users and entertainment blogs across the continent, Hellen Ati — the Kenyan woman alleged to be Cubana Chief Priest's baby mama — has publicly called out the flamboyant Nigerian nightlife entrepreneur, accusing him of “using her star” and leaving her life in shambles.
Hellen took to Instagram with a video that has since gone viral, delivering her allegations in a raw and tearful appeal that seemed to blend personal heartbreak with spiritual overtones. In the footage, she claims that her fortunes took a dark turn after her encounter with the celebrity businessman, real name Pascal Okechukwu. According to Hellen, she believes her current struggles are the result of some metaphysical or spiritual exploitation allegedly carried out by the socialite.
“You have used my star,” she said in the now widely circulated video. “Return my star. Since I met you, my life has been miserable. I have never seen my life miserable like this… Now it is very, very hard for me.”
The emotional declaration stunned many, not only because of the accusations themselves but also due to the manner in which they were presented — with visible frustration and an air of spiritual desperation. Hellen went on to suggest that her suffering could end if only Cubana Chief Priest would return whatever it is he allegedly took from her and begin supporting their son, who she claims is his child.
“I will leave you alone and take care of this boy,” she added. “I know you’ve used my star.”
The video, unsurprisingly, ignited a digital firestorm, with netizens reacting in a mix of amusement, skepticism, and concern. Some dismissed the claim as attention-seeking or a publicity stunt, while others speculated that her accusations might hint at something deeper, possibly linked to emotional trauma or a deteriorating relationship.
On X (formerly Twitter), the reactions were swift and biting. One user, @AlexShakur917, wrote, “Which star abegi? Beer abi the one wey dey come out for sky?” Others were more dismissive, with @1Kristen_ saying, “Make this werey go play with sand jor. Star kor, moon ni.”
Still, not all reactions were unsympathetic. A few commenters pointed to the complexities of alleged relationships with public figures, suggesting that there might be truth buried beneath the drama. “All these for an alleged father of a child? This is more than that,” wrote @Ngozichukwuka07. “E be like the man see something say no be e get pikin because tell me why all these now?”
While Cubana Chief Priest is yet to respond to these allegations — at least as of the time this article was published — the silence from his end has only fueled further speculation. His online persona, built on flamboyance, influence, and deep ties to Nigeria’s entertainment and nightlife circles, has long made him a subject of public scrutiny. However, accusations of a spiritual or metaphysical nature are rare and unprecedented, especially coming from someone who allegedly shares a child with him.
The idea of someone "using another person’s star" taps into long-held cultural beliefs in many African societies, where success, luck, and destiny are often believed to be influenced — or manipulated — through spiritual means. Hellen’s choice of words struck a nerve not just because they were dramatic, but because they echoed familiar sentiments in communities where such beliefs still hold weight.
Yet, the larger public conversation appears divided between those who see Hellen as a woman genuinely crying out for help and those who believe she is merely attempting to smear a public figure. A few have gone further to suggest that she might be seeking renewed relevance or sympathy after previous controversies regarding her paternity claims against Cubana Chief Priest.
This is not the first time the socialite has been dragged into baby mama drama. In previous years, stories have surfaced about his alleged affairs, secret children, and disputes over paternity. However, those stories often faded without confirmation or serious consequence. What sets this incident apart is the spiritual element and the intensity of Hellen’s appeal.
Even as the online frenzy continues, the real question remains unanswered: is there any truth to her allegations? And if not, what drove her to make such emotionally charged statements in such a public manner?
At the heart of the matter is also the wellbeing of the child in question. If indeed Cubana Chief Priest is the father, the current state of public conflict only threatens the stability of the child’s upbringing. As many social media users pointed out, beyond the noise, there’s a young life potentially caught in the crossfire of drama, disappointment, and disillusionment.
For now, all eyes are on Cubana Chief Priest. Will he speak up? Will he defend himself? Or will he maintain his silence and let the storm pass, as he has done before?
In the court of public opinion, Hellen’s cries have already stirred the waters. Whether her star was truly taken or not, one thing is certain: her voice, for now, is impossible to ignore.
