Popular Nigerian socialite and businessman Pascal Okechukwu, widely known as Cubana Chief Priest, has released a fiery new track after losing out in the All Progressives Congress (APC) primaries for the House of Representatives seat in Orsu/Orlu/Oru East Federal Constituency, Imo State.
His defeat sparked heavy mockery online, with many Nigerians taunting him, including his alleged Kenyan baby mama, Hellen Ati, who posted a video laughing at his loss and accusing him of neglecting his son.
New Song After Primary Loss
Cubana Chief Priest explained yesterday that he did not actually take part in the primaries, saying he withdrew after Governor Hope Uzodimma informed him about the party's zoning arrangement for the constituency. He hinted on his Instagram story that he was heading to the studio to respond to critics through music.
True to his word, the nightlife personality dropped a video of his new song in the early hours of today. In the clip, he addressed constant criticism of his lifestyle, stressing that his choices are his own and that those hating on him are only hurting themselves. The celebrity barman urged them to channel their energy positively instead of tearing him down.
Sharing the video, Chief Priest announced the release of his new track titled Balanciaga, set to drop this Friday.
