Kehlani Responds to Custody Dispute Amid Cult Claims By Ex Javaughn Young-White

by

As a dedicated follower of Kehlani’s journey, it is heartbreaking to witness this custody battle unfold amidst unfounded allegations and misconceptions. Having closely observed her growth as an artist and a mother, I firmly believe that Kehlani’s focus on her daughter Adeya Nomi and her well-being is commendable.

Kehlani responds publicly for the first time about the cult accusations surrounding her ex-boyfriend during their ongoing custody dispute. In a recent Instagram post, the singer clarified matters concerning the chaos stemming from Javaughn Young-White‘s efforts to obtain sole custody of their 5-year-old daughter, Adeya Nomi. The couple were together from 2018 until 2019.

In an interview, the artist behind “After Hours” expressed concerns that their silence on the matter is being misunderstood. Even after earlier explanations, this topic remains a hot discussion point.

“My quietness signifies intense concentration, primarily on my daughter. I’m growing weary of people misinterpreting my silence. My priority is ensuring her life remains as beautiful and fulfilling as it is, and that’s what I’m dedicating myself to,” Kehlani, aged 29, expressed in a statement on August 11.

Additionally, the musician strongly emphasized that their roles as a mother take top priority, followed closely by their faith in God. At present, they value privacy and focus above all else, as expressed in their recently expired Instagram story. Furthermore, they expressed that they hold no malice towards those who may not wish them well, themselves or their family.

The situation escalated when Javaughn Young-White, an Internet personality and ex of singer Kehlani, submitted court documents requesting full custody of their daughter this week, as reported by People. In these papers, he claimed that Kehlani is part of a cult, stating in the document: “Adeya was delivered through a home birth arranged by what I would term as a cult she is involved with.” Furthermore, he explained that Adeya’s birth certificate does not have his name due to traditional birthing practices.

Moreover, he claimed in the legal action that the group had power over Kehlani’s decisions and frequently entrusted their infant daughter to unfamiliar individuals within the community.

After their ex’s accusations became public knowledge, Kehlani promptly issued an official statement. As a former member of PopLyfe, she refuted the claims, labeling them as “inaccurate, inappropriate, and untrue.” This declaration not only caused distress but also additional pain for both parties involved, especially since there is a baby in the picture.

The artist-composer, in response to accusations labeling their old religious group as a “cult” by Young-White, chose to address these criticisms. They stated that they would continue to handle the legal matter appropriately and asked for both fans and journalists to respect their privacy during this time. In their statement, they emphasized that their child and dedication to motherhood have consistently been their main motivations in life and will continue to be so.

In a later statement, Young-White disputed the “inaccurate” details reported by TMZ concerning his former partner and publicly recanted any claims of cult involvement. He explained on Instagram that the language used in the documents was not approved by him and expressed regret for their inclusion.

The daily complexities of the custody dispute are being navigated by the Gangsta artist with grace, always putting the welfare of their daughter first. Kehlani welcomed Adeya on March 23, 2019, following a year-long relationship with Young-White. Despite their private nature, they confirmed their partnership just a week after announcing their pregnancy, as reported.

The celebrity, having labeled their former partner as their “dearest friend,” disclosed that they intended to have a child during non-tour periods, to ensure adequate time and environment for the baby’s arrival.
