Singer Kehlani and her ex-partner Javaughn Young-White have both spoken out against recent media reports surrounding their custody battle over their 5-year-old daughter, Adeya. Kehlani, who uses they/them pronouns, released a statement denying claims that they put their child in harm’s way or left her with dangerous individuals. They also denied any association with a cult, stating that the allegations are “incredibly hurtful, inaccurate, inappropriate, and simply untrue.”
Young-White, who filed for full custody, had alleged in court documents that Kehlani’s involvement in a cult was negatively impacting their daughter’s upbringing. However, he later released a separate statement refuting claims made by TMZ that referred to the group as a “sex cult.”
Both parents emphasized their commitment to their child’s well-being and expressed a desire to handle the matter privately. Kehlani concluded their statement by stating, “My child and my commitment to motherhood have always been my sole driving forces in this life and will always remain so.”
The situation highlights the sensitive nature of custody battles and the potential harm caused by inaccurate and sensationalized media reports.
