Javaughn Young-White is taking legal action against ex Kehlani . He accused the "After Hours" singer—who he dated from 2018 to 2019—of keeping their daughter Adeya Parrish , 5, away from him, alleging a cult has been making decisions about their daughter's well-being, according to his July 24 filing obtained by E! News. The 27-year-old petitioned the court for legal and physical custody of Adeya, saying in the court documents that "everyone else has bigger say-so when it comes to upbringing of our daughter than I do.
" E! News has reached out to Kehlani's rep for comment, but has not heard back. He alleged that Adeya is growing in an unsafe environment, writing in the court documents that Kehlani "has been involved in this cult for the past few years and it appears that this cult controls her actions and her behavior, including when it comes to the upbringing of our daughter." He stated that "the cult leader" had a vision that Young-White "was a danger" to Adeya, so Kehlani was banned from letting him see their daughter for months and no longer allows him to take care of their daughter when she's on tour.
He alleged that Kehlani instead leaves their daughter "with random strangers who are also members of the cult," including the cult leader, whom Young-White alleges "has numerous accusations of committing sexual assault against women and young girls." Young-White said in the documents that the cult leader "performs 'religious ceremonies' on our daughter. However, no one is.
