Hellen Ati, the Kenyan woman who alleged she has a baby with popular Nigerian socialite and businessman Pascal Okechukwu, better known as Cubana Chief Priest, has threatened to bring her son down to Nigeria if the celebrity chef fails to perform his duties as his father, saying, “I can’t take it anymore”.
She issued the threat on Friday, 9 October, in an emotional video she shared on her verified Instagram page while pouring out her frustration over single motherhood and relentless online abuse.
In the now-viral clip, Ati claimed she is exhausted from having to care for her son alone, alleging that Cubana Chief Priest has shown no interest in the child since she became pregnant in 2022.
While saying the situation is driving her to her limits, she wrote, “I am tired. Anybody who wants to condemn me, just condemn me. But as a single mother as I be, it’s so unfortunate that women, they go through hell.”

Ati explained that she once sought legal resolution, adding that the celebrity chef filed a counter-motion only to later drop the court case against her without reaching a conclusion.
She went on to claim that her child, who is close to turning four, regularly asks about his father, leaving her at a loss for words each time.
She continued, “I am trying my best as a mum, doing small, small jobs so that I can be able to feed this boy.”
She admitted that the psychological toll the situation is taking on her makes the thought of ending her life cross her mind, but noted that concern for her son has always pulled her back.
”Who will be there for this, your boy?” she asked.
Ati also pushed back against online critics, insisting she deserves basic human dignity, and clarified that she was unattached when she first met Cubana Chief Priest and accused him of being dishonest with her from the start.
In a striking declaration, she announced her intention to travel to Nigeria and hand the child over to his father directly. “I am coming to Nigeria. I am bringing this boy to his father’s doorstep because I cannot contain this every single day,” she said.
