Hellen Ati Accuses Lucky Udu and Abu Salami of Exploitation Amid Sky B Fund Controversy

The drama surrounding media personality Lucky Udu deepened after fresh allegations emerged from Hellen Ati, the alleged babymama of celebrity barman Pascal Okechukwu, popularly known as Cubana Chief Priest.

Hellen, reacting to accusations that Udu withheld funds meant for former singer Sky B, turned the spotlight on her own experience. She alleged that Udu and Abu Salami—manager of Burna Boy’s football academy—took advantage of her and subjected her to mistreatment.

Speaking out, Hellen accused the duo of arrogance, greed, and exploitation, insisting that they wronged her during a period when she was most vulnerable. Though she did not provide detailed accounts of the alleged mistreatment, her claims have stirred conversations on social media, especially given the ongoing backlash against Udu over the Sky B controversy.

Opinion: A Bigger Picture Beyond the Allegations

While the details of Hellen’s claims remain unclear, her outburst reflects a larger, recurring issue in Nigeria’s entertainment and media space—trust and accountability. Too often, accusations of exploitation, mismanagement, and lack of transparency surface around individuals who wield influence.

Hellen’s decision to speak up—whether or not her claims are substantiated—also highlights the struggles women face in industries where power dynamics often tilt heavily against them. Her words resonate with many women who feel unheard or sidelined when they challenge perceived mistreatment.

At the same time, allegations like these remind us of the urgent need for transparency in charitable efforts. The Sky B case, in particular, has shown how quickly public goodwill can be tainted by accusations of greed or mismanagement.

In the end, this controversy is not just about Hellen, Udu, or Abu Salami—it’s about rebuilding trust. The entertainment industry thrives on public support, and when accountability is questioned, everyone loses.
