The remarks were made on Monday following the reappearance of a video of Ati begging for assistance on a national television program. An emotional Ati stated in the video that she had been parenting the boy by herself for years, that he was currently sick, and that she had used all of her resources to cure him. If the child was really his, she made a direct request to Chiefpriest to intervene.

Chiefpriest said on the Instagram page in response to fans pleading with him to resolve the issue definitively: “Make Una help me bring her & the child for una studio make I come there come do the DNA For una on live tv for free.”

Chiefpriest said that he was willing to take a DNA test live on television after supporters pleaded with him to resolve the issue once and for all.

However, he emphasized that he would not give money to Ati or pay for any travel, contending that the child should be presented by the person claiming paternity.
