Every child came to this world as a sign of hope, having the right to know the foundation of where he comes from and also the presence of his father in his life. Putting aside the norms of the society, the presence of a father brings honour to a child.

As the young boy grows, the world has begun to see a striking resemblance with Cubana Chief priest.
In some cultures, it is believed that children shows the resemblance of their father, while physical and face resemblance is not a legal way to prove paternity necessary steps to finding out the truth.
The public might see this as clout chasing or a chance to take money off the billionaire but we need to rethink if there is a bit of truth in what the woman is saying. The innocent boy needs to know if he has the blood of a man celebrated by people. The most compassionate way is clarity.
A DNA test is not an attack, it is a resolution. It is the bridge between doubt and certainty.
If the child is his: Embracing the boy doesn’t diminish his current family; it demonstrates the strength of a man who is ready to take responsibility for his actions.
If the child is not his: The truth will provide peace of mind for everyone involved, protecting his name and allowing both parties to move forward.
