Popular nightlife entrepreneur and celebrity barman, Cubana ChiefPriest, sparked nationwide concern and conversation after revealing that he and his son were involved in a boating mishap that resulted in both of them falling into the ocean.
In a video clip shared on his verified Instagram page, the socialite, whose real name is Pascal Okechukwu, disclosed that the incident occurred during what appeared to be a recreational family cruise.
According to him, his son had challenged him to take the boat ride—an experience that ended in a dramatic twist as the vessel capsized midway on the ocean.
The now-viral video shows the moment their boat overturned and both father and son plunged into the water. Fortunately, they were both wearing life jackets at the time of the accident, which played a crucial role in preventing a potential tragedy.
Cubana ChiefPriest narrated the incident in the caption, stating:
“My Son @donald__okechukwu challenged me to this ride, boom we fell into the ocean. Life jackets saved us with our swimming ocean skills.”
He ended the post on a humorous but grateful note, adding, “@deangels will kill me.” The statement referred to his wife, who he humorously implied would have been furious if anything had gone wrong.
