On Monday, March 31, 2025, former Big Brother Naija housemate Nina Ivy stirred Nigerian social media with her bold take on a paternity scandal tied to nightlife mogul Cubana Chiefpriest.
The reality TV star had responded to a fan’s query on Instagram about claims that the businessman fathered a child with a Kenyan woman.

Nina’s comment, captured in a screenshot shared via her Instagram post, added a new dimension to the alleged baby mama and the controversy surrounding it.
Nina’s clear-cut view on paternity laws
The exchange had unfolded when a follower asked Nina whether a positive DNA result would have forced Cubana Chiefpriest to care for the alleged child.
She had replied that even if the test proved he was the father, Nigerian law didn’t automatically bind him to parental duties.
This position pointed to a significant distinction in the country’s legal framework, where biological ties didn’t necessarily translate to financial or custodial responsibilities without court intervention.
Nina’s no-nonsense delivery resonated with some Nigerians, while others debated its implications, making it a hot topic online.
Cubana Chiefpriest, a well-known name in Nigeria’s entertainment and hospitality world, hadn’t publicly addressed the allegations at the time.
The claims said to have come from a Kenyan woman had fuelled speculation for weeks, with no official word from the businessman himself. Nina’s contribution shifted the narrative, spotlighting how paternity disputes in Nigeria were often straddled by legal technicalities and societal expectations.

@symply_beautiana replied:
“Really? So did the child ask the father not to use protection. So the are some children who do not have right to their father because the father couldn’t protect himself. Sad”
