The father of famous singer Kehlani’s child filed for full custody of their daughter, alleging she is part of a cult, TMZ reported Monday.

Javaughn Young-White filed for full custody of their 5-year-old daughter, Adeya, and claimed that Kehlani is part of a cult that has influenced how she raises their child, according to TMZ. Young-White reportedly claimed she has been part of this cult for several years.

He further alleged that the leader of the cult, which TMZ did not name, has numerous sexual assault allegations. Young-White fears his daughter could be at risk of abuse, the outlet reported.

The father also alleges the leader of the unnamed cult has a big influence over Kehlani, saying he may have convinced the singer to keep his daughter from him, TMZ reported. Young-White also reportedly believes Kehlani’s busy tour schedule doesn’t make her fit for custody. (RELATED: Judge Grants Famous Singer 3-Year Restraining Order Against His Son).

The Grammy-nominated singer welcomed her daughter with Young-White in March 2019, according to PEOPLE. The pair later split up in 2020, TMZ noted.

Kehlani often shares photos of her daughter on social media, who appeared in the music video for her song “Little Story,” PEOPLE reported. Adeya went on tour with her mother in 2022 in which Kehlani shared how important it is that she does “what’s best” for her daughter while on tour, the outlet reported.

“I don’t want her to ever feel like I was dragging her along with my life,” Kehlani said in a 2022 interview with Apple Music. “With touring, I’m taking the extra mile to make sure every venue is really baby friendly and we’re gonna have like a little nursery going on in the backstage and alcohol-free zones and just making sure everything is catering to my kid.”

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
