Kehlani has been granted a restraining order against ex Javaughn Young-Whitewhom the singer accused of physical, emotional and verbal abuse.
The 29-year-old Grammy nominatedwho uses she/they pronouns, was granted a temporary restraining order and a temporary sole custody of the former couple’s 5-year-old daughter, Adeyaaccording to new legal documents obtained by TMZ.
Awaiting a hearing next month, guitarist Young-White, 27, must stay at least 100 meters away from both the “I Like Dat” singer and their baby girl.
Kehlani, born Kehlani Ashley Parrishclaimed that Young-White lived in her back house and regularly got high – on marijuana and mushrooms – in June, when he allegedly broke into her locked bedroom, called her a “bitch”, a “liar” and accused her of “caught” him with the birth of their daughter.
The alleged incident occurred after Kehlani said she questioned Young-White about a letter he had received regarding public support, and she promptly kicked him out.
Kehlani said Adeya would smell marijuana after spending time with her dad in the back house, which her mother said was full of “weed, food, trash and trash,” TMZ reported. Kehlani also accused Young-White of sometimes being loud in front of her daughter, as he allegedly rants about religion. Sometimes, when Young-White picks Adeya up from school, Kehlani said they don’t know where the pair are going together.
News about TRO comes on the heels of Young-white application for full custody by Adeya on July 24 – and reported on August 5 – when he claimed that Kehlani is part of a cult and that he is also raising Adeya in the group.
Just last week, Young-White walked back the “hurtful” and “reckless” allegations against the Afro-Caribbean religion Kehlani previously practiced. Young-White noted at the time the custody petition had been filed with an election language that I don’t okay.
“I have never said that I think Santeria is a sex cult,” Young-White said in her statement. “Nor did I say that my daughter is in a sex cult. It’s actually incorrect.”
Kehlani denied “any allegations that I have put my child in danger or left my child alone with anyone deemed dangerous or unsafe.”
