Kehlani, the Grammy-nominated artist was involved in a public feud with her ex-partner and the father of her child, Javaughn Young-White back in August.
Young-White, had filed court documents seeking full custody of their daughter, Adeya.
Amid their legal troubles,Young-White has now claimed that the singer is not co-parenting their five-year-old daughter in an appropriate way.
In response, the R&B singer took to Instagram to address some of the allegations made by Javaughn.
The conflict arose from a comment Kehlani made, stating that her daughter had been her ‘wife in a past life,’ a statement she claims was taken out of context.
Kehlani explained that her remark was based on a past-life reading and was meant to be lighthearted.
However, Young-White has used this statement as part of his custody filing, questioning her parenting approach.
An emotional Kehlani responded, saying, “To make me seem like I consider myself to be in an inappropriate relationship with my daughter…is the most heartbreaking thing I’ve ever heard.
“I’ve sat there and watched the public only have access to ONE SIDE of things. but THIS is where i absolutely draw the line.
“I do NOT, and have NEVER considered myself in any sort of inappropriate relationship with my child. The rest of these absolutely monstrous allegations are being addressed in court. Thank you”.
So, who is Kehlani’s ex and baby father Javaughn Young-White? Here’s everything you need to know including his age, job, famous brother and social media.
Who is Kehlani’s baby daddy Javaughn Young-White?
Javaughn is a 27-year-old guitar player and model who dated and had a child with Kehlani in 2019.
He is the younger brother of social media personality and comedian Jaboukie Young-White.
Kehlani and Young-White publicly acknowledged their relationship on Nicki Minaj’s Queen Radio in 2018, just a week after the “After Hours” singer revealed she was expecting their now five-year-old daughter, Adeya Nomi.
Although the exact timeline of their romance is unclear, Kehlani has spoken candidly about her relationship with Young-White, revealing that Javaughn is bisexual.
The couple ended their relationship shortly after the birth of their daughter in 2019.
He accused Kehlani of being in a cult
In his previous court documents, Javaughn Young-White, had alleged that the singer is associated with a group he describes as a ‘cult,’ claiming that members of this group look after their daughter, Adeya, while Kehlani is on tour.
He also asserts that Kehlani has made strange comments about their daughter, referring to her spirit as a ‘wife’ from a past life.
Young-white further told the court that he believed that Adeya does not have a social security number as Parrish “refuses” to give it to him..
One of the accusations in the filing states that Adeya is sometimes cared for by adult group members under unusual circumstances while Kehlani is away on tour.
This has led to him believing that his daughter can be a victim of sexual assault, as the group leader ‘Neto’ already has “numerous accusations of committing sexual assault against women and young girls.
However, Young-White made a U-turn from the allegations he levelled against Neto days after the court documents were made public in August.
Young-White noted at the time the custody petition had been “filed with choice language I didn’t OK”. “I never said that I think Santeria is a sex cult,” Young-White said in his statement. “Nor did I say that my daughter is in a sex cult. That’s factually incorrect.”
Kehlani denied the allegations in a legal statement, saying, “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 accused him of getting high in front of their daughter
Kehlani had alleged that Young-White was living in her back house and frequently using marijuana and mushrooms.
She mentioned that Adeya would come back smelling of marijuana after spending time with her dad in the back house, which her mother described as being filled with “weed, food, trash, and debris,” according to TMZ.
Kehlani also claimed Young-White was sometimes high in front of their daughter, during which he would allegedly rant about religion.
Additionally, she expressed concern that when Young-White picks up Adeya from school, she is often unaware of where they go together.
