Kehlani’s ex-partner, Javaughn Young-White, has initiated legal action by filing a paternity petition with the aim of securing full custody of their daughter, Adeya Nomi. The court documents reveal Javaughn’s concerns about Kehlani’s alleged involvement with a cult, which he believes has impacted her parenting decisions regarding their 5-year-old daughter.
Javaughn expresses apprehension over the cult leader’s history of sexual assault allegations and fears that their daughter may be at risk of abuse if appropriate measures are not taken. He asserts that Kehlani’s close association with the cult leader has led her to perceive him as a threat to Adeya, resulting in restrictions on his visitation rights.
Citing Kehlani’s demanding tour schedule and the potentially harmful environment, Javaughn argues that their daughter’s well-being would be better served under his care. Despite their separation in 2020, Adeya has been a familiar presence in Kehlani’s public life, appearing on her social media platforms and even featuring in her music video for “Little Story.”
As the legal proceedings unfold, both parties have been directed to attend mediation to facilitate discussions on custody arrangements and develop a mutually acceptable parenting plan for Adeya’s future. The situation underscores the complexities and challenges involved in co-parenting amidst personal and legal disputes.
