Kehlani recently addressed the child custody petition filed by their ex, Javaughn Young-White, regarding their 5-year-old daughter, Adeya. The singer took to Instagram to refute the accusations made by Young-White, labeling them as 'hurtful,' 'inaccurate,' and 'inappropriate.'
Kehlani denied claims of putting their child in harm's way or leaving her with unsafe individuals. They also distanced themselves from allegations against their former religious community and emphasized their commitment to ensuring Adeya's safety.
The legal battle between Kehlani and Young-White escalated when the guitarist filed a paternity petition, claiming that Kehlani's involvement in what he described as a 'cult' influenced her parenting decisions. Young-White alleged that Kehlani's actions were controlled by the cult leader, leading to restrictions on his access to Adeya.
Furthermore, Young-White expressed concerns about the well-being of his daughter, citing instances where she was allegedly left in the care of cult members and subjected to questionable practices.
In response to the media attention surrounding the case, Young-White clarified that his statements were sensationalized and that there were errors in the initial filing. He distanced himself from claims that Santeria, the religion Kehlani practices, was a sex cult.
The ongoing legal dispute between Kehlani and Young-White highlights the complexities of co-parenting and the challenges that can arise in high-profile relationships. Both parties are seeking resolution while prioritizing the well-being of Adeya amidst the public scrutiny of their personal lives.
