Pascal Okechukwu, better known as Cubana Chief Priest, has denied claims of being related to Bethel Okechukwu, the phone repairer who gained attention after receiving a $30,000 gift from Afrobeats star Burna Boy.

In an Instagram post on Sunday, Cubana Chief Priest clarified that the man in the viral video, who was thought to be his brother, is not his sibling. Burna Boy had promised the $30,000 to Bethel, which led to speculation about his connection to Cubana.

In his statement, Cubana Chief Priest dismissed the rumors, referring to the viral video as a “skit” made by content creators. He further stated that he has only three biological siblings, all of whom are financially independent and do not rely on him.

This statement comes after a heated feud between Burna Boy and Cubana Chief Priest earlier in the week, which garnered significant attention online.

Kano Censors Board has suspended actress Samha Inuwa from acting and appearing in Kannywood movies for one year.

Top actresses like Rahama Sadau and Nafeesat Abdullahi were also suspended in the past for similar accusations by the board.

In a statement issued by Abdullahi Sulaiman, the Information Officer for the Kano State Censorship Board, on Saturday, it accused the actress of not heeding the board’s several warnings

“The actress had been repeatedly warned about her inappropriate attire, vulgar displays, and offensive language in some of her videos.

“Samha Inuwa had been repeatedly cautioned about her crude dressing and vulgar displays, but she continued to flout the board’s regulations.

The statement said, “In addition to the suspension, the board has revoked her licence and halted the censorship of any films featuring her.

“The board reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring that all films, writings, and other forms of expression align with the state’s religious values, cultural norms, and moral standards.

However, the board has not publicly disclosed the specific comments or images deemed indecent or violating its regulatory ethics, leaving the nature of the offence unclear.

The 27-year-old actress has appeared in many Kannywood movies, including Fansa, where she starred alongside Ali Nuhu.

She has also appeared in Shekarar Take, Ta’addanci, Mariya, Wutar Kara, and Matan Zamani, among others.

She also won the Best Actress Award, Kannywood, in the City People Awards in 2018.

She revealed that she grew up with her grandmother and didn’t meet her mother until she was seven years old.

She said, “I was raped five times in my life. I discovered we have a lot of rape apologists. I don’t care who the person is; if that person is my son, I am going to come for him unapologetically.

“I have never met Naira Marley before my entire life. The only time I lacked was when I insisted this was the man I was going to get married to because, at that time, my dad and I disowned each other.

My dad did everything, alcohol and drugs, so it messed him up at a young age. He died at 40.

“I grew up with my grandmother, who is half Delta and half Igbo. I think I was seven before I knew my mother”.
