Javaughn Young-White, who dated the singer and played guitar for her, claims in his petition that his name was not listed on their daughter’s birth certificate, as the singer gave birth ‘through a home birth orchestrated by what I would describe as a cult’

Young-White also claims that Kehlani has refused to provide their daughter’s social security number, leading him to worry that she may not have one.

He alleges that Kehlani is connected to the alleged “sex cult” and that its leader, Neto, has significant influence over her actions, including determining how their daughter is raised.

Young-White claims that Neto shared a “vision” in which he was a “danger” to Adeya and would “kill her,” leading Kehlani to prevent him from seeing their daughter for months.

He expresses concern over the alleged “cult leader’s” influence, citing numerous accusations of sexual assault against women and young girls.

Young-White also alleges that Kehlani allows Neto to perform “religious ceremonies” involving their daughter, unsupervised, and that she lets other “cult” members take baths with Adeya while under the influence of psychedelic drugs.

As part of his paternity petition, Young-White is seeking to have his name added to Adeya’s birth certificate and requesting full custody of their daughter, citing concerns over her well-being.

He is also seeking child support from Kehlani, citing a significant difference in their income.

TMZ reported that Kehlani and Young-White were ordered to mediation to discuss custody, visitation, and to work out a parenting plan, though the court will likely step in if the two fail to reach an agreement.

In a 2021 Facebook Watch special, Pride On! Kehlani & Larry’s Excellent Pride Ride, Kehlani spoke positively about Young-White and their decision to have a child with him, stating that they were “really, really close friends” and believed in each other’s ability to be good parents.
