Things are getting messy between Kehlani and the father of her child, now that the singer is the next person to take legal action against the other.

Last week, the R&B singer’s ex, Javaughn Young-White, filed for full custody of their 5-year-old daughter Adeya, claiming that Kehlani is in a cult.
According to USA Today, the Bay Area singer filed a temporary restraining order against Young-White in the Los Angeles County Superior Court. This order would bar him from contacting Kehlani or their daughter throughout the order, whether that’s in person, by phone, or by email.
The restraining order also requires that he stay at least 100 yards away from Kehlani’s home, Adeya’s school, and her childcare facility.

In an attached court order, commissioner Jeffrey W. Korn ruled there was a risk of child abduction in the case, citing Young-White’s history of abuse against Kehlani and lack of cooperation in co-parenting. Young-White’s abuse of the “Crash” singer was not specified in the filing.
Last week, Young-White made headlines after he filed for full custody of their daughter, claiming that Kehlani is in a cult, and has been for the past few years.
The court documents obtained by USA Today read, “I am not here to disparage (Kehlani). However, the environment that she has created for herself is not the type of environment that a child should be living [in] and therefore, I bring myself to the mercy and wisdom of the court to save my daughter before it is too late.”
He adds that this “cult” controls the singer’s actions, including how Adeya is raised.
The “CRASH” singer quickly responded to Young-White’s lawsuit. “I strongly deny any claims that I have put my child in harm’s way, or left my child alone with anyone deemed dangerous or unsafe,” Kehlani said in an Instagram statement. “I also do not align with any of the allegations made against my former religious community that have been stated in the media.”
Kehlani retains legal custody of Adeya during the restraining order, according to USA Today.
