Nigerian entrepreneur and celebrity barman Cubana Chief Priest has dismissed claims that he fathered a child with a woman linked to an ongoing feud involving Afrobeats superstar Burna Boy. In a firm response, the celebrity barman stated that it is impossible for him to have a child and deny responsibility, given his financial capacity and values.
The Allegations: A Feud Entwined with Burna Boy
The controversy arose amidst the ongoing rift between Cubana Chief Priest and Burna Boy. According to reports, Burna Boy had allegedly offered financial assistance to the woman in question, promising to relocate her and her child to Nigeria and take care of them.
However, the woman alleged that Burna Boy’s associates, Abu Salam and Lucky Udu, coerced her into claiming that Burna Boy had supported her when, in reality, he only sent her $350. She further accused Salam and Udu of demanding a percentage of any funds Burna Boy sent her, along with sexual favors.
In response, Lucky Udu denied the allegations, stating that he never asked for sexual favors or any percentage of the money.

He also debunked the woman’s claims, stating he has no connection with her and no evidence exists to link him to her or the child.
“You say you born for me? Come to Nigeria. You say make I send money first—day baby dey hungry, say hospital bill choke, say you collect loan. I don’t even know you from anywhere, no trace whatsoever,” he added.
“No Need for Drama”
