Kehlani broke her silence after ex-boyfriend Javaughn Young-White accused the singer of being involved in a sex cult and endangering their children.
TMZ reports that Young White is seeking full custody of his child, Adeya Nomi, citing sexual assault allegations against the cult leader. He also claimed the leader influenced Kehlani to prevent him from seeing their five-year-old daughter.
Kehlani addressed the accusations on her Instagram Story on Tuesday night (August 6).
“What has been released in the media over the past 24 hours is extremely hurtful, inaccurate, inappropriate and completely untrue,” Kehlani said. “I vehemently deny any suggestion that I put my children in danger or left my children alone with anyone who was deemed dangerous or unsafe. I also disagree with the claims made by the media about my former religious group. any accusation.
Kehlani went on to talk about young White’s concerns about her daughter. “I have always been very careful to ensure that my children are protected and safe at all times,” she added. “My children and my commitment to motherhood have been and will always be my only driving force in this life.”
“I will have no further comment and will allow legal due process to take place,” Kehlani concluded.

The “Next 2 U” hitmaker also shared a statement from Young-White claiming that TMZ misrepresented his remarks.
“I never said I believed Santeria was a sex cult,” he wrote. “I also didn’t say my daughter had sex cult tendencies. That’s factually incorrect and I think it’s disgusting that TMZ is exploiting the image of children in this way.
Young-White also disputed some of the claims made in the TMZ article. “The TMZ article caused a stir in some quarters and violated my confidentiality rules,” he added. “Additionally, my case was filed incompletely and without my authorization due to attorney error. I am no longer represented by said attorney.
He said “all of my concerns” would be outlined in the revised document. “I do not need to paint an unfair picture of my co-parent because my legitimate feelings are respected by the court. This unfortunate trauma only adds to the barriers to ensuring the health of my child.”
