Hellen’s tone was defiant and ominous, warning that her former lover had no idea what she had planned for him in the coming year.

Their conflict first entered the public domain in 2023, when Hellen accused the celebrity barman of abandoning his responsibilities as a father.

She alleged that he had failed to provide for their child, leaving her to shoulder the burden of care and education alone.

Chief Priest, for his part, has consistently denied these allegations.

He has repeatedly insisted that he possesses the means to care for any children linked to him, whether born within or outside of marriage.

The dispute escalated last year during Chief Priest’s much-publicized clash with music superstar Burna Boy.
