Kehlani Denies ‘Cult’ Allegations Amid Custody Battle
Singer Kehlani has refuted allegations made by her ex, Javaughn Young-White, that she is involved in a “cult” and has endangered their 5-year-old daughter, Adeya Nomi. In a statement on Instagram, Kehlani described Young-White’s claims as “incredibly hurtful, inaccurate, inappropriate and simply untrue.” She emphasized her commitment to her child’s safety, stating, “I strongly deny any claims that I have put my child in harm’s way, or left my child alone with anyone deemed dangerous or unsafe.” Kehlani also addressed her former religious affiliation, clarifying that she no longer aligns with the community and has always prioritized her child’s well-being.
Court documents reveal that Young-White, who is seeking full custody of Adeya, criticized Kehlani’s parenting and claimed that her religious community had extensive childcare responsibilities, including bathing and sleeping with Adeya. He also alleged that an unnamed leader in the community faces accusations of sexual assault. Young-White’s name does not appear on Adeya’s birth certificate, but he hopes the legal process will rectify this. The court has ordered both parties to undergo mediation to discuss their custody agreement. Kehlani concluded her statement by requesting privacy and respect from her fans, indicating she will avoid discussing her family issues publicly going forward.
