Javaughn Young-White is going all-in for custody—think of it as the Super Bowl of family court. The 27-year-old rock star and father of 5-year-old Adeya Nomi (who’s apparently got a nickname that sounds like a rare gem) is taking a stand against Kehlani, his ex and the pop star who’s currently rumored to be part of a very exclusive club of mystical moonbeam enthusiasts.
So, what’s the drama? Javaughn’s documents claim Kehlani’s been moonlighting as a cult member. Yep, you heard that right. He’s basically saying that Adeya’s entrance into the world was like a grand finale of a very peculiar show that didn’t involve the usual hospital shenanigans, hence his name isn’t on the birth certificate. According to Javaughn, Adeya’s birth was more like a DIY project involving some very questionable home-birth “vibes.”
He’s been begging for five years to get his name on that birth certificate, but Kehlani’s been as responsive as a cat at a dog show. On top of that, he’s not even sure if Adeya has a social security number—though he’s apparently not opposed to the idea of her having one, preferably with a bit more bureaucracy involved.
Javaughn’s also spilling the beans on how Kehlani’s new “spiritual” entourage has taken control of everything, including the upbringing of Adeya. He claims this so-called cult leader convinced Kehlani that he was a walking disaster, possibly with a flair for villainy, and should be barred from seeing their daughter.
The plot thickens: he alleges that this cult leader has a past with a list of accusations that reads like a very bad Netflix series, and Kehlani’s leaving Adeya with people who are essentially extras from a sci-fi film. He even suggests that one of these cult members, referred to as “Messiah,” takes psychedelic baths with Adeya. Yes, psychedelic baths—because who doesn’t want their child soaking in a tub of questionable decisions?
So, in a dramatic courtroom twist, Javaughn is asking the court to officially recognize him as Adeya’s dad, so he can get all the parental perks and, of course, some child support to keep up with his very colorful legal battles.
