Kehlani Files Restraining Order Against Ex-Boyfriend During Custody Battle

August 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kehlani’s battle for custody has taken a surprising turn. The singer decided to file a temporary restraining order against her ex-boyfriend, Javaughn Young-White, on August 13. The order was filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, and will prohibit Young-White from contacting Kehlani or their daughter. It’s not a coincidence that the order was filed two weeks after Kehlani filed to obtain full custody of their daughter. Young-White will not only be restricted from contacting his family members, but will be forced to keep a 100 yard distance from their home as well.

TMZ reported that Kehlani will maintain full custody of her daughter Adeya while the restraining order is in effect. Commissioner Jeffrey W. Korn stated that order was processed quickly because there Young-White has a history of abuse against Kehlani. Korn also cited a lack of cooperation with regards to co-parenting, and fear of possible child abduction during the custody case. “He’s not emotionally well and appears to suffer from periods of despair,” Kehlani claimed in court documents. “When he’s agitated, he cannot stop moving and throws his arms in the air while yelling and screaming at me.”

Kehlani Accused Her Ex Of Being Emotionally Unwell

The tables have turned in this highly publicized custody battle. Young-White was the first one to level accusations, as he claimed Kehlani was a member of a cult. On July 24, Young-White filed a complaint stating that the cult “controls her actions and her behavior, including when it comes to the upbringing of our daughter.” He also accused the singer of leaving Adeya in the care of so-called cult members when she’s on tour. “The environment that she has created for herself is not the type of environment that a child should be living,” he asserted.

Kehlani took to social media to deny these claims. She denied every being part of a cult, or putting her daughter at risk. “Strongly den(ies) any claims that I have put my child in harm’s way,” she wrote on IG. “Or left my child alone with anyone deemed dangerous or unsafe… My child and my commitment to motherhood have always been my sole driving forces in this life and will always remain so.” Both the singer and her ex-boyfriend are seeking sole custody of Adeya. The hearing for Young-White’s restraining order has been set for September 3.

Kehlani’s Ex Regrets Accusations From Custody Lawsuit Filing

August 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Javaughn Young-White, who shares a daughter with Kehlani, says he regrets the accusations he made stemming from his attempt at getting custody from the singer. He had claimed that they were involved in a cult and endangering their daughter. TMZ quickly picked up on the story, earlier this week. In the new statement, Young-White explains: “These documents contained general recollections from my initial consultation with my aforementioned rep. They were filed with choice language I didn’t okay. I regret they were included.” From there, he brought up the Regla de Ocha religion specifically, with which Kehlani was previously associated.

“Before filing, the information regarding Priest Neto and his church was circulated to me by parties of priority. I am now aware that these parties were attempting to use allegations and vocabulary to escalate their own disputes within the church. As of today, these parties no longer align with their allegations. Understandably, I was not aware of this at the time,” he further claims. “When I was presented with the allegations against Neto and his church, my daughter was no longer affiliated. However, I was still deeply distressed about the direct care of my child. From my perspective, I was being told the consequences of alarming decision-making that could have ended quite differently.”

Quickly following the initial reports, Kehlani responded to the accusations on their Instagram page. “What has been published in the media over the past 24 hours is incredibly hurtful, inaccurate, inappropriate, and simply untrue,” they wrote. “I strongly deny any claims that I have put my child in harm’s way, or left my child alone with anyone deemed dangerous or unsafe. I also do not align with any of the allegations made against my former religious community that have been stated in the media.”

DJ Mustard’s Ex-Wife Seemingly Throws Shade At Him On Instagram

May 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

DJ Mustard is riding high right now. The producer just scored his first number one single with Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” and he recently welcomed his first child with his girlfriend, Brittany Stroud. He’s excelling in ways both professional and personal, but there still seems to be tension between Mustard and his ex-wife, Chanel Thierry. The latter, who has three children with Mustard, posted a message on Instagram on May 31, and many think it’s aimed at the West Coast legend.

Thierry used Instagram Threads to vent about someone is two-faced. “What really gets my gears going,” she wrote. “Is someone who will throw a rock behind closed doors but in public try to uphold a certain image.” No names, no tagged profiles. Fans quickly arrived at the conclusion that Chanel Thierry meant DJ Mustard. The former spouses have had a contentious relationship since their divorce was finalized. Thierry accused DJ Mustard of trying to gain custody of their children so that he didn’t have to pay child support during an IG rant.

You want to demolish my name!? It’s disgusting,” she publicly told Mustard. “The nerve to have me fighting for custody because you are so bitter and don’t want to pay [child support]. I sat in the house YEARS watching them kids while you toured the world.” She also claimed that the producer owed her child support, and refused to pay for co-parenting classes. DJ Mustard responded to these accusations in court. He filed paperwork that dismissed the unpaid child support claims outright.

“Chanel’s claim that I have starved her out financially since separation is a flat-out lie,” the producer’s paperwork read. “I continued to pay all of Chanel’s living expenses, including all of her credit card bills. I also continued paying Chanel’s housing costs and the children’s expenses including school tuition.” DJ Mustard is still embroiled in a custody battle with Thierry. He filed for sole custody of their oldest son in February. Radar Online reported that the producer wanted to keep a closer eye on his son’s education, and transfer him to a different school. No official rulings have been made.

Jeezy Accuses Jeannie Mai Of “Weaponizing” Their Daughter Amid Rocky Divorce

May 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

In September of last year, Jeezy filed for a divorce from his wife of two years, Jeannie Mai. The proceedings have grown increasingly contentious in the months since, particularly when it comes to their only child, Monaco. Previously, Jeezy has asked the judge to toss out their custody arrangement to give him more time with their daughter. Last month, she accused him of leaving weapons around the child, putting her at serious risk. She also accused him of physical assault, alleging that he once struck her in the face, pushed her down a staircase, and more. He denies the allegations.

Now, Jeezy has filed a motion to modify their divorce agreement, asking a judge to modify certain temporary issues, including custody of Monaco. In the court documents, obtained by The Blast, he accuses his ex of “weaponizing” his love for the little one to try to get what she wants in the divorce.

Allegedly, Mai hasn’t been holding up her end of the deal when it comes to honoring Jeezy’s time with the child. “Unfortunately, the Respondent is weaponizing Petitioner’s love for the parties’ minor child against him in hopes that he will concede to Respondent’s unrealistic and erratic demands,” the court documents read. Mai has yet to respond.

This isn’t the first time Jeezy’s accused Mai of withholding their daughter from him, however. In November, he alleged that she was acting as a “gatekeeper” when it came to Jeezy’s time with Monaco, arguing that it’d be best for all involved to keep a consistent and fair schedule. What do you think of Jeezy accusing his estranged wife Jeannie Mai of weaponizing their daughter amid their contentious divorce?

Jeezy & Jeannie Mai Custody Battle: Rapper’s Ex-Wife Reportedly Limiting Monaco’s Time With Him

April 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It seems like just yesterday when Jeannie Mai and Jeezy were other people’s “couple goals.” Now, the exes are in a custody battle over their two-year-old daughter, Monaco, though the Southern rhymer seems to be slightly more agreeable than he was a few days ago. Earlier this month, we reported that Jeezy was seeking primary custody of the young girl. We now know that he and his attorneys are asking for joint legal and physical custody with his ex-wife. However, he’s not necessarily loving how she’s handling the situation.

Documents obtained by @theneighborhoodtalk reveal that in Jeezy’s “renewed motion,” he accuses Mai of withholding Monaco from him. Apparently, the 46-year-old has only seen his daughter eight times so far this year. “The rapper says Jeannie attempted to establish a visitation agreement, but hasn’t held up her end and currently hasn’t shared her legal address with the rapper,” the gossip blog reports.

“The Petitioner [Jeezy] never imagined that he would have no idea where the minor child is, or that his parenting time and contact with the parties minor child would be restricted by the Respondent [Jeannie],” legal documents state. Elsewhere, in an incident on April 2nd, a caretaker went to Mai’s residence to pick up Monaco for her scheduled visitation with her father. “The caretaker claims they sat outside for hours before later realizing that Jeannie had taken all her belongings and vacated the home,” new allegations reveal.

Even with all the turmoil unfolding in his romantic life at this time, Jeezy’s not letting it keep him from getting in his creative bag. Earlier this year, the rhymer made a highly anticipated appearance on NPR’s Tiny Desk series, where he brought big energy while performing some of his biggest hits in an intimate venue.

Ray J Responds To Princess Love’s Divorce Filing By Requesting Custody

April 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

In the world of celebrity relationships, the highs and lows are often played out in the public eye. Furthermore, the recent news between Ray J and Princess Love are no exception. Following Love’s divorce filing, Ray J has reportedly responded with his own court request. He is seeking joint legal and physical custody of their two children, Melody and Epik. As the legal proceedings unfold, both parties are navigating the complexities of custody arrangements and asset division with the guidance of high-profile divorce attorney Laura Wasser.

Ray J is taking steps to ensure a fair custody arrangement for their children. He is requesting joint legal and physical custody, and claims he is aiming to maintain an active role in their lives. This is despite the challenges of co-parenting after divorce. According to PEOPLE, the “Sexy Can I” singer responded on Thursday, April 4th. In addition to addressing custody matters, Ray J is also seeking clarity on financial aspects, including spousal support and division of assets. Furthermore, his request to divide assets, specifically “miscellaneous jewelry and other personal effects” reflects a pragmatic approach to managing their shared financial interests.

However, the division of assets is not without its complexities. The exact date of separation remains a point of determination. For a few years now, the pair’s relationship has had its ups and downs. However, over the course of their relationship, the couple has announced their plan to divorce at least 4 times now. The most recent announcement came on February 26, 2024. Princess Love shared a statement on her Instagram account writing, “It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of our decision to divorce. After much reflection, discussion, and counseling, we have come to the difficult realization that our paths have diverged, and it is in the best interest of both of us to part ways,” she wrote.

In conclusion, the ongoing legal proceedings between Ray J and Princess Love highlight complexities of divorce, particularly in the realm of celebrity relationships. As they work towards a solution that balances custody arrangements and asset division, the world waits to see what happens next. However, whether the two are really done this time, remains to be seen.

Blac Chyna & Tyga Reportedly Resolve Custody Battle

December 8, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Things are looking up for Blac Chyna and her ex Tyga, as the two of them have finally settled their longwinded custody dispute over their son, King Cairo. According to sources who reportedly spoke with TMZ, they resolved things amicably. Now, both parents will have rights when it comes to making decisions for King’s sake.

Blac Chyna will spend weekends with the 11-year-old, while Tyga will care for him for the remainder of the week. Additionally, the court is said to have ordered them not to speak badly about one another around their son. While this is sure to mitigate some of the tension that’s been brewing between them in recent months, they’ll also be enrolling in a program that will monitor their communication regarding co-parenting. Further, Tyga won’t have to pay child support, which Chyna requested back in August when she filed for custody of King.

Things got messy after Chyna filed, with her mother Tokyo Toni weighing in on Instagram. “@tyga you should be paying child support,” she wrote in The Neighborhood Talk‘s comments section. “What kind of man are you? She never asked you for a dime her son. You should be ashamed of yourself.” Tyga later responded to Blac Chyna’s request, claiming that there’s no reason for him to pay child support when he cares for King during the majority of the week and pays for his schooling.

Tyga eventually filed for sole custody of the child, and Chyna revealed that she would have preferred to work things out without getting the courts involved. According to her, aside from the resources they had to expend on the legal proceedings, she also didn’t want to battle her ex in the public eye. She claims that he refused to talk things out, however. Luckily, the co-parents seem to have now reached an agreement. What do you think of Blac Chyna and Tyga finally settling their custody dispute?

Teyana Taylor & Iman Shumpert’s Daughters Spending Time With Dad Before Custody Decision

December 5, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Before 2023, Iman Shumpert and Teyana Taylor weren’t at all on our radar in terms of couples who might be facing trouble in paradise. If this year has taught us anything, though, it’s that we don’t know what we don’t know, and anything can be taking place behind closed doors. Despite being #Goals to their fans for years now, divorce filings reveal that Taylor felt Shumpert has the tendencies of a narcissist and was struggling with insecurity due to her busy schedule while also berating her for taking time off to be a mother and heal her body after giving birth to their two daughters.

Currently, the former lover’s divorce is in the custody agreement stages. Radar Online reports that a recent hearing included a request from the athlete’s attorney to schedule a set time with him, 7-year-old Junie, and 3-year-old Rue. The court agreed that Shumpert should see his kids 4-6 days out of the month, and for now, he’ll be picking them up from Taylor’s house, where they’ll return at the end of his weekends. The holiday season belongs to the vocalist this year, though this agreement is only in place until a judge determines who gets primary custody of the girls.

Taylor’s legal team is already demanding primary custody and child support after she secretly filed for divorce nearly a year ago. “She has been the primary caretaker of the parties’ minor children since their births,” documents note before stating that Junie and Rue’s best interest would be to stay in their mother’s care most of the time. When with Iman, she claims they “are not fed properly” and “appear to be dishevelled.”

We can’t imagine the stress that comes with navigating a divorce in the public eye, but so far, Teyana Taylor is handling the situation like a pro. Even when she found herself falling victim to pregnancy rumours after stepping out on the red carpet while bloated last month, the “Rose in Harlem” hitmaker managed to laugh off those living rent-free in her uterus.

Blac Chyna Gets Up Close And Personal With Her Man In New Photo

November 22, 2023 by newhiphopnews

While Blac Chyna’s custody battle with Tyga has been unfolding largely in the public eye, she’s been posing with her new man. Pictures of the pair hanging out outside made the rounds earlier this week. It’s not the first time they’ve been spotted together but with her sporting a brand new look this one is making the rounds again. “Angela and her man outside boo’d up” the caption on a repost of the picture on The Neighborhood Talk reads.

In the comments, fans have mixed reactions. “She look just like us now” one of the top comments reads in reference to Blac Chyna’s changed appearance. “So this is what she’s doing while Khloe is raising her daughter,” another comment reads referencing some of the ongoing drama in her life. Thankfully, there are voices in the comments coming to her defense. “Nobody can ever win with y’all, she looks younger to me. I personally think the fillers were aging her and she barely wears makeup now so she looks a lot different,” another one of the top comments reads. Check out the picture and variety of fan responses below.

The newest updates in the explosive custody case between Tyga and Blac Chyna have been pretty mundane. Both were forced to complete court-ordered parenting courses which official documents say they’ve since done. Chyna has continued to claim that she is financially struggling and is looking for child support from Tyga on top of the custody requests.

The last time she spoke on the case itself was last month. She revealed publicly that she had hoped to end the case outside of court. “We could have just had a conversation,” she said. But she subsequently claimed that Tyga was committed to taking the legal route to find a solution for the two parents.

Tyga Completes Court-Ordered Parenting Class Amid Blac Chyna Custody Battle

November 15, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Earlier today, it was reported that Tyga has officially completed his court-ordered online parenting class amid he and Blac Chyna’s custody battle over their son, King Cairo. The news comes only days after Blac Chyna reportedly completed her own parenting class, a requirement for custody disputes. The reality star filed for joint custody of the 11-year-old back in July. She also requested that the artist start paying her child support, claiming that she’s yet to see any since the child was born.

He fired back, claiming that there’s no reason he should have to pay her. According to him, he cares for King Cairo throughout most of the week, in addition to paying $40K per year for the child’s schooling. In response to Chyna’s filing, Tyga also filed for full custody of their son. Blac Chyna claimed that she didn’t know where his filing was coming from, calling it “sad.” She further expressed interest in developing a healthy co-parenting relationship with the performer, as she feels it’s what’s best for the elementary schooler.

Reportedly, Blac Chyna also wanted to settle their dispute outside of court, but her former partner refused. “You have obviously more money than me,” she explained on Nick Viall’s The Viall Files podcast in October. “Why can’t we just settle this stuff outside of court, like [by] talking to you? He didn’t wanna do that, so now I have to go to court… We both don’t need this… The whole world’s watching, and it’s like, ‘We could’ve just had a conversation, man.’”
