Popular Nigerian socialite, Pascal Okechukwu, widely known as Cubana Chief Priest, has dismissed claims of being related to Bethel Okechukwu, a phone repairer who recently made headlines after being promised $30,000 by Afrobeats superstar Burna Boy.
In a statement shared on his Instagram story on Sunday, Cubana Chief Priest clarified that he has no familial ties to the young man in the viral video. The video had led to widespread speculation that Bethel might be his brother.
Burna Boy’s generous pledge to Bethel sparked a wave of online interest, with many questioning the connection between the two Okechukwus.
Addressing the rumors, Cubana Chief Priest wrote “Alleged brother! Skit makers f**kin oppressors. Dem don kneel am down, you go still bend am down because the pain must reach everybody, but my own be say no alert oh no cash, oh I wan just dey sure say my village boy collect for real. Na still my glorious glory. Make una show workings; na musician you fit even give am verse.”
The socialite further stressed that he has only three biological siblings one brother and two sisters who are all financially independent and do not depend on him for support.
This denial follows a recent altercation between Burna Boy, whose real name is Damini Ogulu, and Cubana Chief Priest, which played out on social media on Saturday, drawing significant public attention.
