The ex-partner of Grammy-nominated R&B star Kehlani has reportedly filed for full custody of their five-year-old daughter, Adeya, alleging that the singer is part of a “cult” that is putting their child at risk. Javaughn Young-White , an internet personality and brother to stand-up comedian, actor and Daily Show reporter Jaboukie Young-White, dated the musician between 2018 to 2019. According to court documents seen by US media, Young-White alleged that the “Distraction” singer, 29, “has been involved in this cult for the past few years” and that it “controls [Kehlani’s] actions and [their] behaviour, including when it comes to the upbringing of our daughter.
” “For example, the cult leader, who goes by the name of Neto, convinced [Kehlani] that he had a vision that I was a danger to our daughter and would kill her, and therefore banned [Kehlani] from allowing me to see Adeya,” the filing apparently reads. “Based on this ‘vision’ by her cult leader, [Kehlani] prevented me from seeing our daughter for months.” Young-White also alleged that his name is not listed as the father on their daughter’s birth certificate because Kehlani – full name Kehlani Ashley Parrish – gave birth “through a home birth orchestrated by what I would describe as a cult”.
“For the past five years, I have requested a copy of Adeya’s birth certificate and for my name to be added to her birth certificate to no avail,” the documents state. Young-White apparently.
