Man Claiming to Be the Biological Father of Super Eagles’ Calvin Bassey Goes Live With Hellen Ati
- A video from Hellen Ati's live chat with a man claiming to be the biological father of Super Eagles defender Calvin Bassey went viral
- The man opened up about a long-standing family rift, claiming the footballer's mother denied him access to his children, including Bassey
- The viral video sparked mixed reactions among Nigerians and while many expressed sympathy for the man, others shared contrary opinions
Hellen Ati, the alleged baby mama of socialite Cubana Chiefpriest, attracted reactions online through her live session featuring a man claiming to be the biological father of Super Eagles and Fulham defender Calvin Bassey.
In a tearful video that surfaced online on Monday, January 26, the man, who identified himself as Kingsley Ikenna from Anambra state and residing in Italy, publicly pleaded for his ex-wife to allow him access to his adult sons, including the Fulham defender, after years of estrangement that followed their separation.
According to him, he and his family lived in Italy before relocating to England with Italian papers. However, converting them to British papers became a problem. He wanted his family to return to Italy, but his wife refused. As he could not work in the UK, he had no choice but to return to Italy alone.
He alleged that since then, his ex-wife had denied him visitation rights to his children. According to the man, efforts to meet Calvin ended in vain, and he called on Nigerians to come to his aid.
The man stated that he was not looking for Calvin because he had become famous, but to reconnect with him.
Recall that Calvin Bassey was part of the Super Eagles squad that played in the recently concluded Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament in Morocco.
In related news, Legit.ng reported that content creator Egungun of Lagos shared a video from his interview with Hellen Ati in Kenya.
Egungun queried Hellen about her handbag, a Dior, which she was asked to spell correctly.
