Nigerian socialite Pascal “Cubana Chief Priest” Okechukwu, has denied any familial ties to Bethel Okechukwu, a phone repairer who recently went viral after singer Damini “Burna Boy” Ogulu gifted him $30,000.

The ‘Last Last’ coroner had shared a video of Okechukwu, highlighting his struggles to make ends meet, and pledged to give him $30,000.

In a post on his Instagram story on Sunday, Cubana Chief Priest addressed the claims, clarifying that the man in the video, rumoured to be his brother, is not related to him.

Reacting to the rumours, 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.”

He further clarified that he has only three biological siblings—one brother and two sisters—all of whom are financially independent and not reliant on him.

This development comes amidst a public spat between Burna Boy and Cubana Chief Priest. As earlier reported, the feud escalated on Saturday, drawing significant attention online.

Meanwhile, Okechukwu on his Instagram page Saturday thanked Burna Boy for helping, saying he took him out of poverty.

He called on Nigerians to join him in thanking Burna Boy for his generosity.
