What began as a political update quickly turned into another dramatic chapter in the ongoing online tension surrounding Cubana Chief Priest and his alleged Kenyan baby mama, Helen.
The nightlife entrepreneur, whose real name is Pascal Okechukwu, recently suffered a setback in his political ambition after failing to secure his party’s ticket during a primary election.
According to reports from the exercise, the incumbent lawmaker emerged victorious at the end of the primary process, retaining the party’s ticket and effectively shutting out Cubana Chief Priest’s political bid.
But while political supporters reacted across social media, attention unexpectedly shifted elsewhere online.
Helen Goes Live After Election Defeat
Shortly after news of the outcome surfaced, Helen — the woman who has repeatedly accused Cubana Chief Priest of neglecting their alleged child — appeared on TikTok Live where she openly reacted to the development.
During the livestream, she celebrated the outcome while criticizing the celebrity barman and thanking Nigerians who refused to support his political ambition.
The livestream quickly circulated across multiple social media platforms, adding fresh fuel to an already controversial online situation that has followed both personalities for months.
Clips from the session triggered mixed reactions online, with some viewers criticizing the public mockery while others argued that the situation reflected the long-running public dispute between both parties.
From Celebrity Lifestyle To Political Conversations
In recent years, Cubana Chief Priest built a reputation as one of Nigeria’s most visible nightlife and celebrity figures, regularly appearing alongside musicians, politicians and influential personalities.
However, the socialite’s name has increasingly found itself connected to controversies beyond entertainment.
The ongoing public dispute involving Helen has repeatedly resurfaced online, especially whenever the businessman trends for unrelated reasons.
This latest political development appears to have reopened those conversations once again.
The Political Angle Many Didn’t Expect
While many initially viewed Cubana Chief Priest’s political ambition as another extension of celebrity influence entering Nigerian politics, the primary election result showed the difficult reality of grassroots political structures.
Despite his popularity online and strong celebrity connections, the businessman was unable to secure victory at the party level.
Reports from the primary indicated that the sitting lawmaker maintained enough support within the party structure to comfortably retain the ticket.
The development has since generated debates online about whether celebrity popularity truly translates into political influence offline.
Social Media Reactions Continue To Grow
Across TikTok, Facebook and X, reactions to the situation remained divided.
Some Nigerians sympathized with Cubana Chief Priest over the public celebration surrounding his loss, while others argued that public figures must be prepared for criticism once personal controversies become public conversations.
As of the time of filing this report, Cubana Chief Priest had not publicly responded to Helen’s latest livestream comments.
