In another post on Wednesday, July 1, 2026, the socialite, while reacting to a report about him buying a Nigerian football club, wrote, "In a bit."

As of now, no specific club has been named yet, and details on the investment structure remain forthcoming.

Cubana Chiefpriest's latest move comes after his alleged baby mama, Hellen Ati, challenged him as she publicly announced her willingness to come to Nigeria for her son's DNA test.

She also challenged Chiefpriest to book a flight ticket for her to come to the country, adding that they would both choose different hospitals where DNA tests would be conducted on her son to ascertain her claim about his paternity.

"Since he doesn't want to come to Kenya for the DNA test, I challenge him to send me a flight ticket so I can come to Nigeria," Hellen said.
