Conor Maynard’s life has taken a turn that even Mercury in retrograde couldn’t predict — caught up in a whirlwind paternity saga that would make Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean” raise an eyebrow. Imagine meeting someone at a party, sharing a fleeting moment, and suddenly finding yourself at the center of a baby daddy controversy that spirals into not one, but two DNA tests. The Brighton-born singer, now 32, faced public allegations from The Traitors star Charlotte Chilton, who claimed he fathered her daughter Penelope — only for the truth to unravel in the most unexpected way. As the planets realign, Maynard seems ready to channel the chaos into his craft, teasing a new single that might just drop some hard-hitting bars on this bizarre ordeal. So, what’s a Leo like Maynard supposed to do when life throws him this kind of cosmic curveball? Turn the drama into art, of course — and maybe, just maybe, find the “cherry on top” of this rollercoaster ride. LEARN MORE.
Conor Maynard is having a bit of a ‘Billie Jean’ moment after being falsely declared as the father of Charlotte Chilton’s baby.
The Brighton-born singer, 32, met The Traitors star last year at the wrap party for the second series of the hit BBC show and ended up having a sexual encounter.
Chilton, 34, then discovered she was pregnant with a baby girl and publicly claimed that Maynard was the dad.
He took a paternity test earlier this year and announced in March that it had confirmed he did not father Chilton’s child Penelope – but the mum demanded a redo.
She asked for Maynard to complete the DNA test again after it was claimed that an ‘unidentified male’ was present when his sample was collected, casting doubt over the result.
The recruitment manager and reality TV star was then said to have been left ‘shellshocked’ when the results confirmed that her former lover is not Penelope’s biological father.

Needless to say, it’s been quite a whirlwind for both Maynard and Chilton over the last year or so.
And it seems that the music star is now ready to turn his ordeal into art, as he appeared to tease a new single while making a series of savage references to the controversy.
In an Instagram post shared on Monday (22 September), Maynard can be seen looking forlorn at a mock press conference while a number of journalists badger him with questions.
He parodied a host of titans of the British press in the comical clip, as the ‘Vegas Girl’ singer is surrounded by a number of microphones labelled ‘Not My Sun’, ‘The Legal Guardian’ and ‘Traitor Times’. Cold.
One reporter asks Maynard, ‘Conor, is it true that you still can’t say no to women?’, while another shouts out: “Conor, roughly how much did you pay to change your DNA?”
A third pipes up asking if he ‘can spell paternity’, before another interjects saying: “Conor, the baby looks just like you!”

Following that, a woman introduces herself as ‘Billie Jean from the One Night Standard’ – honestly, Maynard really went to town with these references – and asks: “Conor, you’ve been at the centre of a lot of drama and accusations over the last year and a half. Do you have anything to say in response?”
The words ‘Cherry On Top’ then flash on screen, as does the date ’26 September’.
It seems the singer is about to have his say on the paternity saga through song, as Maynard captioned the clip: “My turn on the mic…”
Social media users seemed to think the teaser clip was great, as many think that Maynard was turning lemons into lemonade – but although some dubbed it a ‘cinematic masterpiece’, others branded it ‘tasteless’.
One person said: “Freakin brilliant.”
Another wrote: “YAAASSSSSSSS!!! Get messy…. very messy!! We are here for it and support you!!”
As a third speculated: “Why does this sound like it’s gonna be some 10/10 disstrack…”
A fourth chimed in saying: “Excellent response to a traumatic time!” while a fifth added: “He’s having his ‘Maria’ – Justin Bieber moment!!!!!”
Maynard and his girlfriend, Kitty Bertrand, purchased their first home together last month.
