Kehlani and the father of her child have each issued their own statements following a custody battle and allegations of a sex cult.Rumours about the two arose when Javaughn Young-White – an internet personality, ex-partner of the Grammy-nominated R&B singer and brother to actor Jaboukie Young-White – reportedly filed for full custody of their five-year-old daughter, Adeya.

They dated between 2018 and 2019.According to alleged court documents seen by outlets including Page Six, TMZ and People, Young-White was quoted as claiming that the ‘Distraction’ singer “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.”People went on to write that 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 were reported as stating.Now, in a new statement shared by Kehlani (via Pop Crave), the singer has spoken out against the media claims, and said that the articles shared over recent days are “incredibly hurtful, inaccurate, inappropriate, and simply untrue”.“I strongly deny any claims that I have put my child in harm’s way, or left my child alone with.
