Club host Ciggie has been left in shock after a DNA test revealed that a child he says he has raised for 12 years is not biologically his.
Speaking about the painful discovery, Ciggie said he had been fully involved in the child’s life over the years, paying school fees, covering rent and meeting other needs. He said he had always believed the child was his and had stepped up to play the role of a father without hesitation.
According to him, it was only after some time that he decided to go for a DNA test, a step he says was meant to bring clarity. The results, however, were not what he expected. Ciggie said the outcome left him stunned, confused and deeply hurt after more than a decade of sacrifice and emotional attachment.
The revelation has once again brought attention to the sensitive issue of paternity fraud and the emotional toll it can take on men who discover that a child they have provided for is not theirs.
Many people who have gone through similar situations describe feeling betrayed, while also struggling with the bond they have formed with the child over the years.
Ciggie’s story has sparked conversation among fans and social media users. Some have sympathised with him, saying the news must be devastating after so many years of financial and emotional investment.
Others have urged him to think carefully about his next steps, noting that the child is innocent and did not choose the circumstances of his or her birth.
It remains unclear how Ciggie plans to proceed or whether he will continue to support the child. He has also not said how the child’s mother has responded to the results.
