Kehlani broke her silence on Instagram following shocking allegations accusing them of having an inappropriate relationship with their 5-year-old daughter Adeya.
Javaughn Young-White, Adeya’s father, has set his sights on gaining full custody of his daughter after alleging that the child was physically and mentally abused by her mother. Young-White also feared for the child’s safety and welfare due to her proximity to her mother’s alleged “sex cult”.
His testimony also shared that there were many instances where Adeya was in danger from a cult member while Kehlani was away.
Young-White mentioned alarming incidents such as the cult member, called “The Messiah” by Kehlani, bathing with Adeya under the influence of hallucinogens. He also alleged that the daughter was in the care of the cult and that she slept in a room alone with some members present.
Court documents also reveal how Kehlani revealed in their text messages that their daughter’s spirit “was their wife from another life.”
On November 14, Kehlani, who uses “she/they” pronouns, finally addressed the allegations through an explosive Instagram post sharing their side of the story.
She captioned it: “A fun conversation with someone I consider family about a stupid book I read turned horribly twisted and I couldn’t stand to look at it anymore.”
According to their statement, Kehlani shared that they “were connected with an older woman for a ‘past life’ reading.” The singer further explained that the screenshots were from a fun conversation with Young-White, recounting their “past life” reading session.
“I shared what I considered a lighthearted summary with my child’s father, laughing at it and dismissing it as something light and not to be taken seriously,” Kehlani said.
“Those screenshots were then edited, with the rest of the message left out, making it appear that I was considering myself to be in an inappropriate relationship with my daughter.. This is Most heartbreaking thing I’ve ever f****** heard.”
Kehlani continued:
“I’ve been silent, I’ve been beaten up by the public. I’ve dealt with all of this where I should, in court. I’ve sat there and watched the public only get one side of the story , but this is where I absolutely draw the line.”
“I do not and have never alleged that I engaged in any inappropriate behavior with my children. The remainder of these absolutely horrific allegations are pending in court. Thank you.”
