Javaughn Young-White’s custody case against Kehlani
In court documents, Javaugn accused the celebrity mom of being “involved in a cult,” according to TMZ. He claims to fear for Adeya’s safety and is seeking full custody to interfere with how the singer is reportedly raising their child. He also claims the mother of one has prevented him from seeing Adeya.
The singer has yet to publicly comment on Javaughn Young-White’s court allegations. However, TMZ reports that the parents have been ordered to attend mediation. They are reportedly tasked with discussing visitation rights, custody, and a shared parenting plan.
When and how did the parents welcome Adeya Nomi?
As previously reported, Javaughn Young-White and Kehlani welcomed Adeya Nomi on March 23, 2019. Their first child was delivered in the singer’s bathroom at their home without any medication. In a now-deleted post, they revealed that it was the “hardest, strongest thing” they’ve ever done.
Javie confirmed their account in a post on Twitter (now X). He added that he held Adeya Nomi in his arms as Kehlani struggled to get up. He also said that the experience was the “best moment” of his life, according to PEOPLE.
Amid their pregnancy announcement, the singer reportedly shared that they trust Javie (their best friend and amazing partner) “with [their] body.”
What was the relationship between Javaughn and the singer like before Adeya was born?
According to the same source, Javaughn, also known as Javie, was the singer’s guitarist and friend “for a very long time” before Adeya.
What’s more, they told Nicki Minaj on ‘Queen Radio’ in 2018 that the pregnancy was planned. The singer seemingly confirmed (after Nicki asked) that they had “a lot of sex” because they had such a short time to get pregnant.
“…We had it planned out, so we definitely had to…we only had a short amount of time to actually have sex every day, and we were so happy that it wasn’t a chore anymore,” the singer said, adding that it was “fun.”
Additionally, Kehlani explained that her previous relationship with a woman ended before she met Javaughn Young-White. They shared that they feel “lucky to have found a partner who is a bisexual male.”
“He really understands my weirdness and my groundedness, and I really understand his, and we really appreciate each other as people,” Kehlani said at the time.

Javaughn and her husband dated during her pregnancy, but multiple news outlets, including PEOPLE and TMZ, reported that they split shortly after the singer gave birth.
In a 2021 Facebook Watch special, Kehlani described her friendly relationship with her daughter’s father.
“Her dad and I are like really, really close friends, and the decision to start a family was really easy for us because we both believe in each other’s ability to be good parents,” they shared on Facebook’s ‘Pride On! Kehlani & Larry’s Excellent Pride Ride.’
They added that as parents, they “focus on being a team.” When they told Javie that they had “come to new terms with [their] sex,” he was “super, super, super support,” singer shared.
