The court document, linked to their ongoing custody case with their child’s father, Javaughn Young-White, quickly went viral, sparking outrage and confusion online.

In an emotional Instagram post, Kehlani explained that the comment came from a “past life” reading they had with an older woman and was never meant to be taken seriously.

They said they shared the reading with Javaughn in a lighthearted way, but those messages were later taken out of context and spread online, painting a disturbing picture.

Here’s what Kehlani had to say:

As a person that has always gotten little readings here and there, I was connected to an older woman for a “past life” reading.

I shared what I considered to be a lighthearted recap with my child’s father, laughing at it & considering it something light & not to be taken serious.

To have those screenshots then doctored, the rest of the messages left out, to make me seem like I consider myself to be in an inappropriate relationship with my DAUGHTER… is the most heartbreaking thing I’ve ever f**king heard.

I’ve been silent, I’ve taken the public beating. I’ve been addressing all of these things where I should, in COURT.

I’ve sat there and watched the public only have access to ONE SIDE of things.

But THIS is where I absolutely draw the line.

I do not, and have NEVER considered myself in any sort of inappropriate relationship with my child.

The rest is these monstrous allegations are being addressed in court. Thank you.

The Grammy-nominated “Blue Water Road” singer has been in the spotlight for their artistry and advocacy, especially within the LGBTQ+ community. However, the recent personal dispute has drawn attention away from Kehlani’s music, creating a challenging time for the R&B singer.


One thing is for certain…people will believe anything about Kehlani.
