The test examined genetic samples from both Stevo, whose legal name is Stephen Otieno Sr., and the child, Stephen Otieno Junior, who was born to the couple in late 2025.
The practitioner stated that genetic mismatches were found at multiple points during the examination.
"Based on the DNA profiles generated from the sample submitted of Stephen Otieno Sr. and Stephen Otieno Jr., Stephen Otieno Sr., you are not the biological father of Stephen Otieno Jr. Mismatches were observed in 11 of the loci tested," the practitioner said.

Questions around Dragon Junior's paternity
Doubts about the child's biological parentage had been in circulation for some time, surfacing not long after Dragon Junior's birth.
Much of the early public discussion was driven by comments made by Geoffrey Machabe, Stevo's former manager, who later withdrew his claims.
Despite that retraction, the conversation continued to gain traction on social media, eventually prompting the official test.
With the results now made public, the question of paternity has been formally settled, marking a significant and painful turning point in the rapper's personal life.
